Brett Andrew Button, the Hunter Valley Wedding Crash Bus Driver, Now Faces Elevated Charges
Recently, Brett Andrew Button, the bus driver involved in the Hunter Valley wedding accident, is now subject to increased charges. Despite these new serious allegations, he is still on bail. The specifics of the rising charges have yet to be revealed. This new piece of information comes from our source, Reader Wall, on the day that his case was presented in court, a day where Button was not present.
Stepped-up Charges and Continued Bail
According to Reader Wall, Button is now officially accused of ten manslaughter counts and another sixteen counts for ‘dangerous driving resulting in bodily harm.’ These charges come from his involvement in an accident that led to the death of ten wedding guests in New South Wales. The crash occurred late on a Sunday night when the bus, believed to be carrying guests home from a wedding, tipped over at a roundabout. His case is due to be returned to court on March 13th.
The Disaster in Hunter Valley
The unfortunate incident happened last year in Hunter Valley. The bus driven by Button crashed, leading to ten deaths and injuries to several other people. The bus was transporting 35 guests from a wedding at Wandin Estate Winery to Singleton. Button initially faced ten counts of dangerous driving resulting in death. However, these charges have now been stepped up. Family members of one of the victims were in court when the case was mentioned.
Pending Court Proceedings
Button currently faces an additional 26 charges, including 16 for causing bodily harm through reckless or high-speed driving. The court proceedings are expected to put a heavy mental strain on the victims’ families. Moreover, the case will be mentioned again in court, with Button likely to face additional charges. The Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, has publicly spoken about the emotional impact of the crash on the families and encouraged friends and relatives to seek support as required. The court proceedings will likely continue in March, with Button remaining subject to the same bail conditions.
