L’homme au volant d’un bus en Australie qui s’est écrasé, tuant 10 personnes et en blessant au moins 20, allait trop vite dans des conditions de brouillard, selon la police.
Le bus transportait des passagers revenant d’un mariage dimanche lorsqu’il s’est renversé à un rond-point près de la ville de Greta en Nouvelle-Galles du Sud (NSW).
De nombreuses victimes sont liées à des clubs sportifs ruraux très unis, ont rapporté les médias locaux.
L’accident est l’un des accidents de la route les plus meurtriers d’Australie.
Brett Andrew Button, 58 ans, a été inculpé de plusieurs chefs d’accusation de conduite dangereuse et de négligence, après avoir été arrêté lundi.
Il aurait conduit “d’une manière incompatible avec les conditions”, a déclaré mardi aux journalistes le commandant de la circulation et de la patrouille routière de la police de NSW.
“Il a perdu le contrôle de ce véhicule… de toute évidence, la vitesse était trop rapide pour qu’il puisse négocier ce rond-point”, a ajouté le commissaire adjoint par intérim David Waddell.
Quatorze personnes blessées dans l’accident dans la région viticole de Hunter Valley sont toujours hospitalisées, dont deux dans un état critique, selon la police.
Ils n’ont officiellement identifié aucune des victimes, mais le maire de Singleton a déclaré que beaucoup vivaient dans la petite ville.
“Je sais que nous ne nous en remettrons jamais”, a déclaré Sue Moore à la BBC.
Certaines familles locales ont été aux côtés de blessés hospitalisés à Newcastle et à Sydney, a déclaré Mme Moore, et d’autres planifient des funérailles sous le choc de “la pire chose qui puisse arriver dans leur vie”.
“Pour autant que je sache, un grand nombre de parents laissent deux enfants orphelins”, a-t-elle déclaré.
Une jeune médecin, Rebecca Mullen, faisait partie des personnes tuées, a déclaré le ministre de la Santé de NSW, Ryan Park. “Cela a rendu une journée très sombre encore plus sombre pour NSW Health”, a-t-il déclaré.
Le Tasmanien Kane Symons est également décédé dans l’accident, a confirmé son ancien club de surf sur les réseaux sociaux.
Postant au nom de sa famille, le Carlton Park Surf Lifesaving Club a décrit M. Symons comme “un athlète incroyable… un type formidable et un compagnon pour beaucoup”.
“Nous l’adorions et il nous manquera vraiment”, ont-ils déclaré.
Des cliniques de santé mentale éphémères ont été mises en place à Singleton et dans la ville voisine de Cessnock pour soutenir la communauté locale, et Mme Moore a déclaré que des discussions étaient en cours pour collecter des fonds pour les familles des victimes.
M. Button est également un habitant de Hunter Valley et souffre clairement avec les proches des victimes, a déclaré un magistrat lors de sa comparution devant le tribunal mardi matin.
“Je vois devant moi un homme qui souffre”, a déclaré la magistrate Robyn Richardson, lui accordant une libération sous caution.
Le tribunal local de Cessnock a appris que M. Button avait commis sept infractions de conduite au cours des 30 dernières années, mais n’avait pas de casier judiciaire.
Le Premier ministre Anthony Albanese a déclaré mardi que “l’horrible tragédie” avait secoué le pays, notamment parce que les gens “associent les mariages à l’amour et aux… célébrations”.
“Bien sûr, les cicatrices dureront très longtemps”, a-t-il déclaré à l’Australian Broadcasting Corporation.
Le site de l’accident était “toujours une scène de crime active”, a déclaré la police lundi, avec des officiers médico-légaux travaillant sur l’épave.
La Hunter Valley en Nouvelle-Galles du Sud est connue pour ses vignobles et sa brousse indigène, ce qui en fait un endroit populaire pour les amateurs de vin et les sorties ou célébrations de groupe.
Worth marking the moment when reading this clicked into something useful for my own work, and a look at syruptarot extended that practical click, content that connects to my actual life rather than just being interesting is content with the highest kind of value and this site is generating that connection at a high rate.
Reading this felt productive in a way most internet reading does not, and a look at growthvertexhub continued that productive feeling, sometimes the open web feels like a waste of time but sites like this remind me why I still bother to look around rather than retreating to old reliable sources for everything I need.
Closed the tab and immediately reopened it ten minutes later because I wanted to reread a part, and a stop at actionwithsignal drew the same return, content that pulls you back after closing it is doing something well beyond the average and worth marking as exceptional in my mental catalogue of reliable sites.
Just nice to read something that does not feel like it was assembled from a content brief, and a stop at clarityshift kept that handcrafted feel going, you can tell when a real human with real understanding is behind the words versus a templated piece churned out for an algorithm to find.
This one is staying open in a tab for the rest of the day so I can come back and re read certain parts, and a look at profitnexus suggests I will be doing the same with a few more pages here too, this is going to be a deep dive over the coming hours.
Now organising my browser bookmarks to give this site easier access, and a look at forwardthinkingcore earned the same organisational priority, the small acts of digital housekeeping I do for sites I expect to use often are themselves a measure of trust and this site has triggered the trust based housekeeping behaviour from me clearly.
Compared to the usual results for this kind of search this site stands well above the average, and a quick visit to artistneedle kept the standard high, you can tell within seconds whether a site is going to waste your time or actually deliver and this one clearly delivers without any false starts.
Now feeling slightly more committed to my own careful reading practices having read this, and a stop at forwardthinkingcore reinforced that commitment, content that models the kind of attention it deserves is content that calibrates the reader and this site has clearly raised my own bar for what to bring to good writing today.
Reading this on a difficult day was a small bright spot, and a stop at ideaprogression extended that brightness, content that improves a hard day is content that has earned a particular kind of place in my reading habits and this site is occupying that uplifting role for me today which I appreciate clearly.
Just sat back at the end of the post and felt grateful that someone took the time to write it, and a look at claritydrivesmotion extended that gratitude across more of the site, recognising effort behind quality work is part of what makes the open web a community rather than just a marketplace today.
The overall feel of the post was professional without being stuffy, and a look at broadcastnova kept that approachable expertise going, finding the right register for technical content is hard but this site has clearly figured out how to sound knowledgeable without slipping into that distant lecturing tone that loses readers in droves every time.
Just sat with this for a bit longer than I usually would because the points are worth thinking about, and after claritymovesideas I had even more to chew on, the kind of post that nudges your thinking forward without forcing the issue is something I have always appreciated in good writing online.
If I were to recommend a starting point for the topic this site would be near the top of my list, and a stop at directionisleverage reinforced that recommendation status, the small list of starting point recommendations I keep for friends asking about topics is short and this site is now firmly on it.
Worth saying that the post fit naturally into a rhythm of careful reading, and a stop at actioncreatesalignment extended the same rhythm, content that pairs well with how I actually read rather than demanding a different mode is content well calibrated to its likely audience and this site has clearly thought about that consistently.
A piece that handled the topic with appropriate weight without becoming portentous, and a look at actiondrivenvelocity continued that calibrated seriousness, content that takes itself seriously without becoming pompous is something this site has clearly figured out and the balance shows up in every piece I have read across multiple sessions now.
My time on this site has now extended past what I had budgeted, and a stop at growththroughsimplicity keeps extending it further, content that overstays its budget in my schedule is content that has earned the extra time and this site has been earning extra time across multiple visits to the point where my schedule needs adjustment.
Decent post that improved my afternoon a small amount, and a look at growthwithoutnoise added a bit more to that, sometimes the small wins online add up over time and a useful site like this one is the kind of place that contributes consistently to those small wins for me lately across many different topics I follow.
Thanks for the simple approach, too many sites bury the actual point under layers of unnecessary words, but here every line earns its place, and a look at momentumovernoise showed the same care for the reader which is something I will remember the next time I need answers on a topic.
Now understanding why someone recommended this site to me a while back, and a stop at moveideaswithpurpose explained the recommendation, sometimes recommendations make sense only after experience and this site has finally clicked into place as the kind of resource I now understand was being recommended for sound editorial reasons by my friend.
My usual pattern is to skim and bounce but this site has reset that pattern temporarily, and a stop at buildtractionnow maintained the slower reading mode, content that changes how I read is content with structural influence and this site has clearly nudged my reading behaviour toward something better at least for the duration of these visits.
Reading more of the archives is now on my plan for the weekend, and a stop at actioncycle confirmed the archive worth the time, the rare archive worth a dedicated reading session rather than just casual sampling is the rare archive of serious work and this site has clearly produced enough of that work to warrant the deeper exploration.
Solid value packed into a relatively short post, that takes skill, and a look at focuscreatespace continues the dense useful content across more pages, this site clearly understands that respecting reader time is itself a form of generosity which is something most blog operations seem to have forgotten lately across the wider open web.
A thoughtful read in a week that has been mostly noisy, and a look at claritybeforecomplexity carried that thoughtful quality across more pages, finding pockets of considered writing in a week of distractions is one of the small wins of careful curation and this site is providing those pockets at a sustainable rate.
