Hunter bus crash: what we know so farDriver charged with 10 counts of dangerous driving occasioning death
Jess Wishart and her two children came home early from their long weekend camping trip at Lake Liddell.
Wishart said it “just didn’t feel right” staying any longer after waking up to the news that 10 people had died in a wedding bus crash near their home town of Branxton.
The organisers of this wedding did exactly the right thing. They had a destination wedding, they had a bus on hand so people wouldn’t drink and drive or be tempted to drink and drive. Everyone was doing the right thing here and many people have lost their lives.
I think that adds to the devastation that people are feeling this morning.
