The guests had attended a wedding at the Wandin Estate Winery and were heading to their accommodations in the town of Singleton, Acting Assistant Commissioner Tracy Chapman said. One guest told Seven News it had been a nice day and a fairytale wedding.Emergency responders"were able to smash the front windscreen of the bus in order to pull some people, or assist some people out of the bus", she said.
Police Commissioner Karen Webb said investigators have not yet determined what caused the bus to roll on its side. "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 told reporters. "We are a major wedding and tourist destination in the Hunter Valley, and so there will be people from all over the state and the country that have been to these areas and have probably done similar things," he said."I think it will send shock waves right through the broader community."
