Driver charged after Australia's worst bus accident in decades

Canberra [Australia], June 13: A man was charged with dangerous driving after at least 10 wedding guests were killed when the bus they were travelling in crashed at a roundabout in Australia's worst bus accident in almost 30 years, police said.
Twenty-five people were injured in the accident around 11:30 p.m. (1330 GMT) on Sunday near the town of Greta, about 180 km (112 miles) northwest of Sydney, police said.
The bus carrying 35 passengers left the road and flipped onto its side at a roundabout after a wedding in the Hunter region, a rural area famous for its vineyards and wedding spots.
Police said the driver, a 58-year-old man, had been taken to hospital for mandatory drug testing. He was refused bail and is scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday.
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese expressed his "deepest sympathies" to the families of the people killed and injured.
"All of us know the joy of going to a wedding . they are some of the happiest times that you can have. 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.
NSW Police Commissioner Karen Webb said police were treating it as a single-vehicle accident and the cause may not be known for some time.
The bus had been pulled upright after a "delicate operation", given dead passengers were inside, she said.
