A teenage girl was injured after reportedly falling from a moving B-Line double-decker bus near the Spit Bridge in Seaforth, Sydney, on Monday evening, September 28, 2026.
Emergency services responded to the incident shortly before 5:45 p.m., after reports that the passenger had fallen from a northbound bus travelling near the Spit Bridge. NSW Police and NSW Ambulance attended the scene as emergency crews worked to assess and treat the injured teenager.
According to early local reports, the girl was conscious following the incident and was treated by paramedics at the scene. She was reported to have suffered multiple grazes and a hip injury, with her condition described as stable. Reports also indicated that a rescue helicopter was initially tasked to the incident but was later stood down after the teenager’s condition was assessed.
The incident caused disruption in the area as emergency services responded and traffic was affected around the Spit Bridge.
Witnesses described a frightening scene for passengers travelling on the bus. One passenger told the Manly Observer that people aboard the bus suddenly reacted after the vehicle went around a bend, before the witness saw the girl on the roadway.
The circumstances surrounding how the teenager came to fall from the moving bus remain under investigation. Early witness reports suggested that the bus doors may have opened while the vehicle was moving, although this has not been established as the official cause of the incident.
Keolis Downer, the operator of the Northern Beaches B-Line service, confirmed that it was aware of the incident and said a full investigation would be undertaken. The company said its immediate concern was the welfare of the passenger involved.
The incident has raised concern among passengers and members of the local community, particularly because it occurred during the busy evening period near one of the Northern Beaches’ major transport corridors.
At this stage, authorities have not publicly released the teenager’s identity. Further details about the circumstances of the fall are expected as police and the bus operator continue their investigations.
The focus following the incident remains on the teenager’s recovery. She was reported to be in stable condition after receiving medical attention, while emergency authorities and the transport operator work to establish exactly what happened aboard the bus.
For passengers, witnesses and members of the Seaforth community, the incident was a disturbing reminder of how quickly an ordinary journey can turn into an emergency.
