Police are seeking witnesses to a serious road rage incident on Hopetoun Circuit in Yarralumla

The incident involved a Toyota Land Cruiser and a ACTION bus, which was carrying a bus load of school kids at around 3:10pm yesterday.

The Land Cruiser attempted to overtake the bus but collided with the side of it.

At the next stop the driver then rammed into the back of the bus before driving off.

No one was injured from the incident.
Quite alarming, it's lucky there were no injuries. Without too much speculation, it sounds as though the irate driver failed to give way to the bus. Hopefully, the security camera vision will bring the perpertrator to account.

Of course, if you have any information reagrding the incident, contact the Police on Crimestoppers: 1800 333 000.
