Truck driver charged over fatal crash A TRUCK driver involved in a collision with a school bus that killed a nine-year-old boy in the Hunter Valley has been charged with multiple offences after tests revealed prescribed drugs in his system. Harry Dunn died at the scene of the crash after he was thrown 10 metres through a side window when the bus collided with the prime mover at Singleton in September last year. Two seven-year-old boys, including the brother of the boy who died, suffered head injuries and were airlifted to John Hunter Children Hospital. The 54-year-old male bus driver and remaining four children on the bus were also taken to hospital where they were treated for minor injuries. Police said the 34-year-old truck driver from Queensland, was not injured in the accident. After a lengthy investigation, Queensland police arrested the truck driver and charged him with dangerous driving causing death, negligent driving occasioning death, and driving a motor vehicle with a prescribed illicit drug present in blood/urine. He's due to appear in Singleton Local Court on March 14.
