The driver of the bus that crashed, killing 10 people and injuring dozens more, in the Hunter Valley on Sunday night, has been charged with multiple dangerous driving offences.
A family has placed flowers beside the steadily growing pile of roadside tributes near the scene of the horror bus crash that killed 10 passengers.
“It’s my understanding that at the wedding, and indeed on the bus, are people from a number of areas, both local and within the Singleton [local government area], but also from Sydney and perhaps Queensland and Victoria,” Webb said during a press conference earlier this afternoon.“I could not provide any more detail at this time in relation to those people.”
As night begins to fall on the site of the Hunter Valley bus crash, police have begun the “arduous” and “complex” task of matching people who were in the bus to the property they left behind. “It’s been complex, and I think it’s only just now that the bus has been righted from its side,” Webb said. “It’s a delicate operation, and I’m sure you can appreciate the need for that given that people were inside that bus.”
Acting Assistant Commissioner Tracy Chapman said the first agencies on scene were traffic and highway police, Fire and Rescue NSW and NSW Ambulance.“It was a fairly frantic scene, a number of passengers we were able to extract from the front windscreen of the bus,” Chapman said.
Webb said the bus has recently been pulled upright, which was a delicate operation because people remained inside. Jimmy Harris, president of Warrandyte Netball Club, said Edsell had started playing the sport as a young girl and finished playing for the team in around 2016.“It comes as a bit of a shock when you read on the news that something’s happened, and then it turns out just how close to home it actually is,” Harris said.
