Emmie-Rose Wright’s three children – aged five, eight and nine – were on the school bus which hit the car in which Virginia Giuffre was travelling near Perth, Western Australia
The mum of three children on the school bus which collided with the car in which Virginia Giuffre was travelling has brushed off her claims it was a serious crash.
Ms Giuffre, who accused Prince Andrew of abuse, said she was fighting for her life after the crash, which saw the bus hit the white Toyota Highlander near Perth, Western Australia. Since the 41-year-old woman made this claim, the driver of the bus Ross Munns insisted the colision was “minor” and described her alleged injuries – including kidney failure – as “laughably unrealistic”.
No one else was reported to have been severely hurt in the crash, including the bus driver or the motorist in the Toyota Highlander, said to be have been Ms Giuffre’s 71-year-old carer. Now, Emmie-Rose Wright, whose children aged five, eight and nine were on the bus, has spoken out to further contradict Ms Giuffre’s account. The mum said the crash only caused slight damage to the rear brake light of the Toyota Highlander.
None of the 29 children on the bus were “worried or traumatised,” according to Ms Wright, who described Mr Munns as “an upstanding member of the community”.

Ms Wright said: “They (the children) weren’t worried or traumatised at all… they thought that she had stopped in front of them unnecessarily.” Speaking to Mail Online, she described the prang as “a small crash”.
But Ms Giuffre, a victim of Jeffrey Epstein, had claimed online the bus had struck the car at 110km/h (68mph), causing her significant injuries. Ms Giuffre’s family claimed the post, which included a photo of the mum with a badly bruised face, was a mistake – as she thought she was posting to her private Facebook account.
Another parent, whose children were on the bus, blasted the post and image. Hayley Miller told The Telegraph: “The whole story is sick and I don’t know what’s true and what is not but I do know [the injuries] are not from the bus incident. It’s lies. I don’t know what she is trying to get from all of it… but I do feel bad for her and I hope she gets help.”
She said the bus was intact after any impact last Monday, and none of the children were seriously hurt. The driver of the Toyota Highlander, said to be a grandmother from Perth and Ms Giuffre’s carer, suffered a black eye, according to reports.
Speaking about the crash, Mr Munns, who has been a bus driver for nearly 20 years, said: “It’s just all blown out of proportion and I know what happened. I didn’t even see her in the car.”
