On a Saturday morning along the Mitchell Highway near Dubbo, a decision to end a police pursuit did not arrive in time to prevent catastrophe — a fleeing sedan struck a bus moments later, killing the driver and sending eight others to hospital. The event sits at the intersection of law enforcement judgment, public safety, and the unpredictable consequences of flight, raising questions that will now be answered not in the field, but before a Coroner. Twenty-six lives were touched in an instant; one was taken.
