A bus driver has been charged almost two months after three women died in a collision with a four-wheel drive on a major highway. The 52-year-old man was behind the wheel of the Greyhound bus with 33 people onboard in the crash on June 30, police say. The bus collided with a 4WD towing a caravan on the Bruce Highway in north Queensland’s Whitsundays region about 11am. A 56-year-old Townsville woman died in the crash and was believed to be travelling with her daughter who was not injured.
“Police will allege the man was the driver of the bus at the time of the crash.”The collision occurred in a 100km/h zone on the major highway, meaning it was a “very confronting” scenes for first responders. “I’m sure every single Queenslander is thinking of the families of those who have died, those who are currently being treated at our hospitals and our first responders who I’m told arrived to just awful scenes,” Premier Steven Miles said at the time.
