A groom who was a passenger on the bus involved in the fatal Hunter Valley crash has filed a lawsuit against the bus hire company, Linq Buslines. The legal action comes in the wake of the June 2023 tragedy, where a bus carrying wedding guests overturned on Wine Country Drive in Greta, New South Wales. The crash resulted in the deaths of 10 people and left many others injured.

The legal proceedings seek damages related to the incident, marking a significant development in the ongoing aftermath of the disaster. While the ABC report confirms the filing of the lawsuit, it does not provide specific details regarding the exact nature of the claims or the requested compensation. The bus driver involved in the crash is currently facing separate criminal charges, including dangerous driving occasioning death, which are being handled through the court system independently of this civil action.

There is currently no public response from the bus company regarding the specific allegations made in this civil suit. The focus of the legal action appears to be on the liability of the transport provider in the context of the charter services provided for the wedding event. As the criminal case against the driver continues to move through the legal process, this civil claim highlights the ongoing search for accountability by those directly affected by the tragedy.
