Horror as 11 people trapped inside minibus on major highway in Melbourne's east
A minibus has crashed into a pub Melbourne's eastern suburbs, leaving 11 people trapped inside.
Emergency services were called to the corner of Glenferrie Rd and Dandenong Rd in Malvern about 9.25am on Friday after reports a minibus had crashed into the side of a pub.
A Victoria Police spokesperson told NewsWire that 11 people were trapped inside the bus at the time of the incident.
Firefighters worked to free the passengers who were unable to get out of the crushed bus.
'The passengers and driver were still on-board and unable to evacuate' a Fire Rescue Victorias spokesperson told NewsWire.
'The driver relocated the minibus, allowing firefighters to remove the vehicle door so everyone on-board could evacuate.'
Ambulance Victoria were on the scene as they treated the 11 trapped passengers.
'Paramedics assessed 11 patients but no emergency treatment or transport was required,' a spokesperson told NewsWire.
Police have launched an investigation into the crash.

Angela Jones suspended after Eagle Farm treble which hurts her premiership hopes
Angela Jones' Eagle Farm treble saw her snatch the lead in the Brisbane jockeys' premiership, but her title hopes were dented by a suspension from the Group 1 Tatt's Tiara. Jones' tremendous trio of winners gave her a one-win lead over good friend and fellow jockey Emily Lang. But there was a sting in the tail late in the day with stewards grilling Jones over her ride on fifth-placed favourite Floozie in the Group 1. • PUNT LIKE A PRO: Become a Racenet iQ member and get expert tips – with fully transparent return on investment statistics – from Racenet's team of professional punters at our Pro Tips section. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Stewards also had winning jockey Tom Sherry in the room, in an inquiry into Jones shifting out on Floozie and Sherry shifting in on winner Tashi, going past the 200m mark. Runner-up Abounding and roughie Bubba's Bay were the meat in the sandwich in the incident. Jones pleaded not guilty, insisting to stewards that the shift from Sherry on Tashi had 'more than half'' the bearing on the interference. 'I don't think it's worthy of a charge,' Jones said. Stewards disagreed, charging Jones with careless riding and suspending her for 10 days to start after next Saturday's Winx Guineas meeting on the Sunshine Coast. Chief steward Josh Adams said the shift from Sherry had been taken into consideration when imposing Jones' penalty. The riding ban is the last thing Jones needed on the day she hit the lead in the Brisbane premiership race and she seems almost certain to appeal to the Queensland Racing Appeals Panel. Immediately after imposing Jones' suspension, stewards had Sherry back in the room. They found he was only 20 per cent culpable for the incident and issued the former Irishman with a severe reprimand. It somewhat soured a great day for Jones, who also surged past 100 winners for the Australian racing season.
