A bus driver accused of causing one of Australia’s deadliest crashes, killing 10 people and injuring 25, is expected to plead to the charges next month. Brett Button, 59, appeared briefly in Newcastle Local Court on Wednesday, where his lawyer indicated he planned to enter pleas to the charges against him at his next court appearance over the Hunter Valley crash in June 2023.
Button was arrested after losing control of a bus taking 35 wedding guests from the Wandin Valley Estate to Singleton about 11.30pm on June 11. The bus slammed into a guard rail and rolled onto its side. He released a statement outside court on March 13, which O’Brien read out on his behalf, saying there was “not a day that goes by that I don’t think about what happened that day, that night”.
