A Canadian tourist who crashed his mini-van into a tour bus loaded with other tourists in Wellington yesterday has been fined $800.
Marc Boileau, 54, from Vancouver, pleaded guilty in Wellington District Court today to careless driving causing injury, The Dominion Post reported. He paid the fine on the spot.
Boilou, on holiday with his family, crossed the centre line while driving his mini-van near Oriental Parade shortly before midday, colliding with the tour bus carrying 12 overseas visitors.
Four bus passengers were moderately injured but Boilou and his family were unhurt.
