A bus driver is fighting for his life and a child is among a dozen passengers injured when two buses collided in a horror crash.

The accident happened at 4.20pm on Wednesday on Seventh Avenue in Campsie, in Sydney’s southwest, and emergency crews rushed to the scene.

New South Wales police said one bus collided with another, sending the second bus crashing into three parked cars. The cause of the incident remains unknown.

A bus driver, a 63-year-old woman and a female passenger were trapped inside a vehicle, with firefighters opening the shattered windshield to rescue them.

The female bus driver was treated by NSW Ambulance paramedics before being taken to St George Hospital in a critical condition.

The passenger, in her 50s, suffered serious spinal injuries and was rushed to hospital for treatment.
