Aidan O’Brien has been praised for breaking away from celebrating his record-breaking Royal Ascot success to express his sympathy for families of those who lost loved ones in one of Australia’s worst road accidents.
Ten people were killed and 25 were taken to hospital when a bus full of wedding party guests overturned in the Hunter Valley region of New South Wales on June 11. It was the country’s worst road crash since 12 people died in 1994.
The bus driver has been charged with ten counts of dangerous driving occasioning death and one count of negligent driving occasioning death.
