Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Qin Gang on Monday sent condolence to his Australian counterpart Penny Wong over a deadly bus crash.

The accident killed at least 10 people and injured 25 others on Sunday night after a wedding bus carrying 35 passengers flipped onto its side at a roundabout in the Hunter Valley, about 180 kilometers northwest of Sydney.

Police have charged the 58-year-old bus driver with 10 counts of dangerous driving which resulted in death.

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese had expressed his "deepest sympathies" to the families of the people killed and injured, saying it's "so cruel, so sad and so unfair" for a "joyous day in a beautiful place like that to end with such terrible loss of life."
