Man's fence flattened by school bus moments after dropping kids off

A Queensland homeowner claims he's been living with a broken fence for five months after a school bus ploughed into it moments after dropping kids off.

Joel Browning lives across the road from Brisbane Christian College's primary campus, where several buses filled with school students file in and out of each day.

His front fence became collateral damage when a school bus crashed in September, narrowly missing cars and pedestrians.

Browning claims the same bus and driver returned to the school drop-off run the very same afternoon it rolled backwards down a hill and into his fence.

Since the crash, Browning says the school groundsman dropped off two sheets of temporary fencing but since then, offers to fix the fence have been slow.

"Could've at least gathered some troops, come over and gave us a hand," he said.

"They've pleaded us to use our insurance. Obviously, we shouldn't have to because then we lose our no-claim bonus."

When A Current Affair went to Brisbane Christian College for answers, they told us the bus incident was investigated and dealt with internally.

It also claimed it indicated to Browning's family that the insurance process could take a while.

Coincidentally, one day after our interview, the insurance money came through so Browning's fence could finally be fixed.

The school's insurer CGU told A Current Affair the claim was settled as quickly as possible.

"Unfortunately, there were delays in identifying and linking the information on the incident and claim provided by our customer, with the damage that had occurred to Mr Browning's property," it said.

Browning welcomed the settlement.

"It's about bloody time, hey," he said.

"It's a bit unfortunate we had to bring you guys into it to get something sorted but we got there in the end."
