Father Of Greta Bus Crash Victim Launches Legal Action Against Linq Buslines

BY OLIVIA DILLON

A man who lost his son in the Hunter Valley bus crash is launching a legal fight against the bus company which owned the vehicle at the heart of the tragedy.

Ten wedding guests were killed and 25 were injured in the disastrous incident at Greta on the 11th of June.

Adam Bray, whose son Zac was killed in the rollover, has now met with lawyers and is launching a class action against Linq Buslines.

He claims the operator failed to meet its obligations under the chain of responsibility laws for heavy vehicle operators.

He's also launched a petition to have a bus safety campaign heard in Parliament.

The driver of the bus, Brett Button, remains before the courts and is facing 62 charges.
