A tragic incident occurred when a bus carrying wedding guests crashed, resulting in the loss of 10 lives and injuries to 11 individuals. The incident prompted a remarkable response from first responders. An off-duty paramedic, who arrived at the scene first, immediately began providing medical aid to the injured. The gravity of the situation necessitated the deployment of seven rescue helicopters, which transported the injured individuals to various hospitals in the Hunter region, including Maitland Hospital and John Hunter Hospital.
Preliminary information suggests that the bus, which had departed from a nearby wedding venue, was ferrying guests back to their accommodations while others intended to continue the festivities at a nearby location. Tragically, the bus driver lost control of the vehicle, leading to the crash. The exact cause of the accident remains unknown, and ongoing investigations are underway to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident.
