Two people were killed and eight others injured when a bus landed on top of a car in Newcastle on Thursday.

"Eight people, who were occupants of the bus, have been treated for injuries sustained during the crash. Four of the patients were in a serious condition, while four patients had sustained minor injuries.
"They were stabilised and transported to local hospitals for continued medical care. All of the victims were stabilised on the scene and taken to local hospitals for further treatment," he said.
