The chilling words of the Aussie driver who crashed a bus for hire and killed ten wedding guests have been revealed.
On Sunday night, a bus carrying 35 wedding guests crashed on the expressway in Greta, New South Wales, just moments after the victims attended the wedding of Mitchell Gaffney and Madeleine Edsell.
In the crash, ten people were killed instantly and another 25 suffered injuries that required treatment and hospitalization.
It has since the shocking crash been confirmed that the driver of the bus, 58-year-old Brett Andrew Button, was arrested and charged with 11 offenses including ten counts of dangerous driving resulting in death and one count of negligent driving resulting in death.
Survivors have also spoken out and claimed that they were worried about their safety due to the excessive speed at which the bus was moving through the foggy area.
While the passengers were urging each other to remain seated for their own safety, Button allegedly said: “If you think that was fast… watch this.”
As the police also confirmed, the bus appeared to have crashed near a roundabout after entering it at high speed and losing control of the vehicle.
“He lost control of that vehicle and it fell over onto its left side, onto a guardrail,” Assistant Commissioner David Wardell said.
“Some of our police are visibly distraught. It was a very chaotic scene.”
The police also revealed that the passengers of the bus were all adults aged between 20 and 60.
As of this writing, 14 of the 25 injured passengers remain in hospital for treatment.
Our thoughts remain with the victims of the crash and their loved ones.
