‘There are no words to describe the grief we’re feeling’

Hundreds of mourners gathered at a vigil on Thursday evening to honour the victims of Sunday's tragic Hunter Valley bus crash. 

Hundreds of people have gathered to honour and remember the victims of a horror bus crash after a wedding.

Ten wedding guests were killed when the bus taking them to their accommodation rolled while driving through a roundabout in the Hunter Valley.

A further 25 people were sent to hospital after the bus crashed onto its side and on top of a guardrail, with crash investigators currently piecing together what went wrong.

Residents from the town of Greta, near the site of the tragedy, gathered on Thursday night and laid flowers to remember those who had passed.

Some hugged and held each other while the tears flowed for the tragic event.

Others stood to remember the people who lost their lives doing the right thing and travelling home from what was described as a “fairytale” wedding.

The vigil comes a day after the last victim of the crash was identified.

Darcy Bulman travelled to the Hunter Valley from Melbourne with her partner Nick Dinakis to celebrate the wedding of friends Maddy Edsell and Mitch Gaffney when the unthinkable happened.

Victims of crash remain in intensive care

It’s understood Mr Dinakis is among two people who remain in intensive care at John Hunter Hospital.

Among the other victims of the crash are parents Andrew and Lynan Scott, whose two young children are now orphaned.

“My heart absolutely breaks for everyone involved, especially Andrew and his wife leaving behind two beautiful little baby boys,” a former colleague of Mr Scott wrote to her Facebook page.

The family of Nadene and Kyah McBride confirmed the passing of the mother and daughter, who were travelling together on the bus.

“There are no words to describe the grief our family is feeling at this time,” they said in a statement through NSW Police on Tuesday.

The McBride family has also declined any request for interviews “while we grieve and process this tragedy as a family unit”.

Both had ties to the Singleton Roosters Football Club, where the bride and groom were both players.

The fiancé of a woman who died in the crash has been left heartbroken by the event.

Sam Howard, a survivor of the crash, shared a photo on Monday night of him and his fiancée Bec Mullen, who is believed to have died in the incident.

Tributes have also flowed for Hobart surf life saving athlete Kane Symons, with his local club sharing its community’s heartbreak.

“We are heartbroken to hear of the tragic passing of Kane Symons in the Hunter Valley bus tragedy,” Carlton Park SLSC president Christine Gaby said in a Facebook post.

“Kane, otherwise known as ‘Superman’, was an amazing athlete who competed at the highest level. But more than that, he was a leader, a great bloke and a mate to many. We adored him and he will be truly missed.”
