FOUR patients have since been taken to Wagga Base Hospital in stable conditions.
Wagga Ambulance Station Inspector Eamonn Purcell said the freak accident could have been much worse.
"A nurse of 40 years from Lockhart Hospital and an off duty paramedic were first to render assistance on scene," he said.
"They were invaluable. We can't thank them enough.
"A freak accident like this has the potential to cause serious injuries. Everyone was very lucky have escaped relatively unharmed."

A NSW Ambulance Spokesperson said four paramedic crews were dispatched to the site after receiving the call about 11.30 on Saturday morning.
Initial reports indicate that four people aged from their teens through to 60s were being treated.
"It seems as though the horses drawing the cart have bolted, causing the accident," the spokesperson said.
"One teenage female is being treated for suspected leg injuries, saying she can't move her legs."
