With a fire extinguisher in hand and bleeding from the head, school bus driver Colin Stafford entered what was left of his bus to check for a second time to make sure no students were left behind in the wreck after a deadly head-on collision.
Moments earlier Mr Stafford was taking 17 Wallumbilla State School students to their hometown of Yuleba along the stretch of the Warrego Highway in southwest Queensland as he had done countless times when catastrophe struck.
A car driven by a 37-year-old Western Downs woman with a 30-year-old Chinchilla woman in the passenger seat ploughed into the front of the bus.
