At least ten people died, and 25 were injured after a chartered bus carrying wedding guests rolled off a ramp at a roundabout in Australia’s New South Wales (NSW) state, police said on Monday.

The accident occurred around 11:30 pm (1330 GMT) on Sunday near the town of Greta, about 180 km (112 miles) northwest of Sydney, in the Hunter region famous for its vineyards and wedding spots, Reuters reported.

At this stage, it appeared to be a single-vehicle accident, NSW Police Acting Assistant Commissioner Tracy Chapman said during a televised media briefing. Police were still trying to identify all the passengers, she said.

Footage shown on Australian media showed the bus lying on its side. Some people could be still trapped beneath the vehicle, police said.

The driver of the bus, a 58-year-old man, was under arrest and was expected to be charged over the accident, Chapman said.
