The man driving a bus that crashed, killing 10 and injuring at least 20 in Australia, was allegedly going too fast in foggy conditions, police say.

He was allegedly driving " in a manner that was inconsistent with the conditions" the NSW Police Traffic and Highway Patrol Commander told reporters on Tuesday.
" He lost control of that Vehicle . . obviously the speed was too quick for him to negotiate that roundabout, " Acting Commissioner David Waddell added.
