Just after 11.30pm on Sunday 11 June 2023, emergency services were called to the scene of a bus accident at Greta in the state’s Hunter region.
The bus was returning from a wedding at a local winery.
Police have confirmed 10 people have died, 11 have been taken to hospital and a further 18 are uninjured.
I extend my deepest condolences to the families, friends and loved ones of those who have been killed in this accident and those who are injured.
This is a profoundly tragic event. I know the whole community of NSW, and in particular the people of the Hunter, will be shocked and saddened to wake up to this news today.
I thank our emergency services personnel and agencies for their incredible response overnight and today – NSW Police, NSW Ambulance, NSW Fire and Rescue, NSW Health and Transport for NSW.
Support is being offered to those impacted by this tragedy.
