Two people dead in multi-vehicle crash on Sydney Harbour Bridge
Two men have died and several people have been injured after four cars and a bus collided on the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
Emergency services were called to the scene about 1:40pm following reports of a multi-vehicle crash.
NSW Ambulance paramedics treated multiple people for injuries; however, two men died at the scene.
Police said the bus driver was uninjured and there were no passengers on board at the time.
Superintendent Clayton McDonald said the investigation into the cause of the crash was ongoing.
"I'm mindful at this time the driver [and] both victims who have deceased have not been identified," he said.
Superintendent McDonald from NSW Police said initial inquiries indicated that one car veered into oncoming traffic.
He said the crash investigation team from NSW Police had finished their investigation.
NSW Ambulance's Superintendent Jordan Rosser said two drivers, a male and female adult, hade been taken to Royal North Shore Hospital.
Both are in a stable condition.
One of the drivers injured in the crash is a pregnant woman who sustained minor injuries.
"The hospital will continue assessment and ensure she gets any treatment she requires," Mr Rosser said.
'Significant congestion in the area'
Transport for NSW coordinator-general Howard Collins urged the public to avoid the area.
The Sydney Harbour Bridge has reopened, after being closed following the crash.
However, it has been advised that motorists seek an alternative route or use public transport over the bridge.
"There are diversions in place. There's significant traffic congestion in the area," Mr Collins said.
He said "there will be significant traffic to clear for the afternoon peak".
