Mini-bus ploughs into wall in Sydney CBD

The driver of a minibus has walked away with only minor injuries after his bus hit a ute and slammed into a wall in Sydney's CBD.

The minibus hit the back of the ute near the corner of Market St and Elizabeth St on Tuesday afternoon, sending the ute crashing into a toilet and the bus into a wall outside Hyde Park.

The driver of the bus had to be freed from the wreckage by emergency crews but sustained only minor injuries, while four passengers were taken to hospital suffering from neck and back pain, a NSW ambulance spokesman told AAP.
