Brett Button, the bus driver accused of causing one of Australia's deadliest crashes, says he is devastated by what happened.
Button says there is not a day or night he doesn't think about the families of those killed or injured in last year's crash in the NSW Hunter Valley.
"There isn't an hour that goes by where I'm not thinking of the families affected by my actions," he said in a statement read out by his barrister Chris O'Brien outside Newcastle Local Court on Wednesday.
"I truly feel for anyone involved including the emergency services.
