Exercise Edge 27-05-06MOCK BUS CRASH TO PUT EMERGENCY CREWS TO THE TEST The state’s emergency services have combined their resources to tackle a multi agency emergency response exercise. The bus ‘crash’ occurred Saturday under controlled conditions as it rolled over a rock face in a quarry operated by Hanson Construction Materials off Horsnells Gully Road in the Adelaide Hills. One of the other aims of this exercise is to enable researchers from Adelaide’s University’s Centre for Automotive Safety Research to gain a better understanding of what type of structural damage occurs and what potential human physical injuries could be expected. The bus, donated by Bus Stop Sales and Service, was repainted and partly refurbished by Bus Stop Adelaide for the purpose of the exercise. CFS Promotions Unit |
