Deadly Rotorua bus crash leaves one dead as Duke of York faces Epstein scrutiny
A tragic bus accident in Rotorua on 13 February 2023 has claimed one life and injured 30, including three students from Kaiti School who were hospitalised but later discharged. The incident occurred as the students were en route to a kapa haka competition in Tauranga. Meanwhile, the Democratic Party has sought a formal interview with Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, the Duke of York, regarding his friendship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The bus crash involved a 65-year-old local man driving a car. The three injured students from Kaiti School in Gisborne were treated at Rotorua Hospital but were fortunately discharged soon after. In a separate incident, a man collapsed during a press briefing in the Oval Office, leading to the abrupt conclusion of the event.
In the wake of renewed attention on sexual abuse allegations, King Charles III has stripped his brother Andrew Mountbatten Windsor of his royal titles. This decision comes after the Democratic Party requested a formal interview with the Duke of York to discuss his friendship with Epstein. Additionally, Abby Zwerner, a former teacher, was awarded $18 million by a jury after being shot by a six-year-old student in her classroom.
The bus crash in Rotorua has left one person dead and 30 injured, with three students from Kaiti School among those affected. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of road safety, particularly when transporting school groups. Meanwhile, the Duke of York's friendship with Epstein continues to draw scrutiny, leading to his loss of royal titles and a requested formal interview with the Democratic Party.
