On Sunday, Virgina said in the Instagram post: « I won’t bore anyone with the details but I think it important to note that when a school bus driver comes at you driving 110km as we were slowing for a turn that no matter what your car is made of it might as well be a tin can. »
The bus driver said the crash took place at around 3pm on March 30 when he tried to overtake a slow-moving white car when it went under 75kmh.
But he claimed the car suddenly began to turn right as he was trying to overtake in the school bus that was travelling with 29 children still on board.
Munns claimed he beeped his horn, but ended up clipping the car and both vehicles stopped.
He said: « The driver basically pulled out in front of me. I made sure she was alright, and I went and did a police report. She was elderly and I asked if she was ok, and she said, ‘Yes I’m ok’.
« I asked if she lived here and she said, ‘No I’m a carer’, and I told her she needs to put her indicator on when you have to turn.
« That’s all the conversation was, and she asked how the kids were and I said, ‘fine’. It wasn’t a major crash. »
Although he claimed not to have seen Virginia in the car, a police report later confirmed a 41-year-old passenger was in the passenger seat.
A spokesperson for Virgina also said she had ‘made a mistake’ by publishing the post publicly.
