Driver arrested after wedding bus crash kills at least 10 in Australia

At least 10 people have been killed and 25 people have been taken to hospitals after a bus carrying guests from a wedding in Australia’s Hunter Valley wine region crashed on Sunday evening, prompting offers of condolence from local lawmakers all the way up to the Australian prime minister.The 58-year-old driver of the bus has been arrested, and criminal charges are pending, police said without disclosing the man’s name.

Chapman said forensic investigators remained at the crash site on Monday morning, and it was possible that more victims could still be pinned under the wreckage.“We are still trying to identify all of the people on the bus,” Chapman said. She declined to specify the ages of the passengers, but she said that no children were on board.

She said the bus passengers had attended a wedding Sunday at Wandin Estate — a popular winery and wedding venue — and were heading to Singleton, a town about 20 miles away, to stay the night.
