<h3 style="text-align: center;">&#8220;Fairytale&#8221; Wedding Ends With 10 Dead, 25 Injured, Bus Driver Arrested</h3>
<p>The driver, described by authorities as a 59-year-old man, was arrested at the scene.</p>
<p>However, New South Wales Police Assistant Commissioner Tracy Chapman did not immediately specify what the charges would be.</p>
<p>Chapman also refused to confirm whether speeding was a factor in the bus crash, coupled with reports of a foggy road.</p>
<p>The only thing she would confirm is that there was &#8220;sufficient information for us to establish that <a href="https://apnews.com/article/australia-bus-crash-10-killed-greta-7f9aecb895a24b301c29f54ca5ea6783" target="_blank" rel="noopener">there will be charges</a>,&#8221; according to the <em>Associated Press</em>.</p>
<p>The guests had attended the wedding at the Wandin Estate Winery in New South Wales.</p>

<p>Authorities say the wedding bus flipped en route to the nearby town of Singleton.</p>
<p>The 25 injured were taken to local hospitals by helicopter and emergency vehicles, per the Post.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, another 18 passengers and guests of the wedding were not injured in the single-vehicle crash.</p>
<p>Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has since offered Australian support for the victims and their families. Albanese spoke on the juxtaposition of the joyous occasion coupled with &#8220;such terrible loss of life.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote><p>“For a joyous day like that, in a beautiful place, to end with such terrible loss of life and injury is so cruel and so sad and so unfair,” Albanese said.</p></blockquote>

<p>Albanese noted the cruel irony of the bus crashing, even though they were specifically hired to keep guests safe from drinking and driving after the reception.</p>
<blockquote><p>“People hire a bus for weddings in order to keep their guests safe. And that just adds to the unimaginable nature of this tragedy,” he said.</p></blockquote>
<p>The fatal crash took place in a Vineland-filled area that is a popular destination for weddings, the Post reports.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, a video posted after the crash shows nearby residents leaving flowers at the site of the deadly crash to honor the victims.</p>
<p><em>Reuters</em> reports that it is Australia&#8217;s <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/least-10-people-killed-bus-accident-australia-2023-06-11/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">worse bus crash</a> in decades.</p>
