The father of an 11-year-old girl who died in a bus crash on Mt Ruapehu, has described screams of fear when passengers realised the brakes on the bus had failed.
Hannah Francis died in July 2018 after the mountain's shuttle bus, operated by Ruapehu Alpine Lifts, crashed into a bank and rolled on to its side during its descent down the mountain.
On Tuesday the inquest into Hannah's death began in Auckland.
Jordan Bond was there.
