“It’s a tragic situation, they hadn’t actually got to the wedding yet, so they still have a wedding in front of them,” NSW Police superintendent Steve Laksa said.
“We’re very fortunate that the injuries weren’t fatal.
“It definitely could’ve been worse.”

NSW Taxi Council CEO Nick Abrahim said the passengers were on their way to the wedding when the bus crashed on a “narrow and windy” road.
“I do understand there were other vehicles, the wedding party was travelling together,” Abrahim told 9News.com.au.
Abrahim said the manager of the taxi business spoke with the driver at the scene, who had some injuries.
“He did seem ok,” Abrahim said.
“We’re just grateful that everybody was able to get out.”
Police said the driver will undergo mandatory blood and alcohol testing.
Nine ambulance vehicles and two emergency helicopters were sent to the scene.
Motorists have been urged to avoid the area.
