Qtown-Kingston road re-opened after fatal crash

Here's the latest update from police - the road between Queenstown and Kingston is now re-opened. It is believed that the crash involved a Southern Discoveries tourist bus and car in which the driver died.

State Highway 6 just north of Devils Staircase, near Queenstown, has reopened in both directions following a fatal crash earlier today.

There were 14 passengers and the driver on board the bus at the time of the crash. 

Not 40, as originally reported.
