Not confirmed information! Description: Up to 30 people have been injured after two trucks and a bus crashed on the Stuart Highway near Darwin. Police say the bus was sandwiched between the trucks at an intersection near a petrol station at Pinelands, about 10 kilometres south of the city. One of the trucks caught fire in the crash and while that has been extinguished there is still oil and fuel on the road. Police say the road will be closed, inbound and outbound, for about two hours. Police Duty Superintendent Bob Harrison says he does not believe the injuries are serious. "I think it ranged from abrasions and bruising. Obviously there will be some people with concussion and shock - things of that nature," he said. "But we've certainly got people there and the ambulance is obviously there assessing the extent of the injuries as we speak."
