Those involved in a collision between a car and a bus at about 8.45am on Wednesday 14 August on the corner of Lakeside Boulevard and Princes Highway in Pakenham were lucky to walk away unharmed.

Paramedics responded to the incident at about 8:45am, with no emergency treatment or transport provided.

Officer-bound traffic backed up all the way to McGregor Road as one lane was diverted around the scene, while the left-hand turning lane off Lakeside Boulevard was also closed to traffic, with all lanes reopened by about 9.45am.
