She said the death toll could rise, noting that the bus had not yet been fully searched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bus was returning from a wedding and was driving to Singleton, northwest of Greta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The driver of the bus \u2013 a 58-year-old man \u2013 was taken to hospital under police guard for mandatory testing and assessment. He was later arrested and is expected to face criminal charges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s sufficient information for us to establish that there will be charges but I won&#8217;t go into the detail about those at this time,&#8221; Chapman said, without elaborating on the cause of the single-vehicle crash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A crime scene has been established which will be examined by specialist forensic police and the Crash Investigation Unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With at least 10 people confirmed dead, the crash appears to be one of the deadliest road accidents in Australia in recent decades. In 1989, two deadly bus accidents occurred just two months apart, killing 21 and 35 people, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><em>BNO News is building a platform to make the media and government in Australia and other countries more transparent.
