Incident Overview
A school bus driver has provided his account of a minor traffic crash in Western Australia on March 24, 2025 , which Virginia Giuffre—a prominent figure in high-profile legal cases involving Jeffrey Epstein and Prince Andrew—claims left her hospitalized with severe injuries.

The bus driver, Ross Munns, stated he was traveling at 75 km/h with 29 children on board when the bus allegedly clipped a vehicle that slowed and turned without indicating. Authorities confirmed no injuries were reported at the scene, but Giuffre later claimed on social media that the crash caused renal failure and that she had been given “four days to live.”

Details of the Crash

  • Crash Date: Monday, March 24, 2025.
  • Location: Western Australia (exact location unspecified).
  • Vehicles Involved: A school bus and a car.
  • Reported Injuries:
    • Giuffre alleged severe bruising, renal failure, and a “four-day prognosis” in a social media post.
    • The bus driver and the car’s driver (a 71-year-old woman) reported no injuries at the scene.

Conflicting Accounts

Bus Driver’s Statement :
Munns told MailOnline he did not see Giuffre in the car during the crash. He reported the incident to police the following day due to “bizarre circumstances,” despite no legal requirement to do so for minor collisions.
Giuffre’s Claims :
She posted a photo of herself in a hospital bed on Instagram, claiming the bus was traveling at 110 km/h and that she sustained life-threatening injuries. Her spokesperson stated she was admitted to Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital after her condition worsened.
Authorities’ Response :
WA Police Commissioner Kylie Whiteley confirmed no injuries were reported at the scene. A source close to the investigation stated Giuffre was not in a life-threatening condition and hospital staff were unaware of the cause of her injuries.
Legal Context
Giuffre is known for her role as an accuser in the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking case and for filing a lawsuit against Prince Andrew in 2021, which was settled out of court in 2022. Prince Andrew acknowledged her suffering in a court statement but denied allegations of sexual misconduct.

Police Investigation
The WA Police confirmed they received no formal reports of injuries from the crash. They are reviewing the incident, including:

  • The speed and actions of both drivers leading up to the collision.
  • Road conditions and adherence to traffic rules.
  • Giuffre’s claims about the severity of her injuries and hospitalization.

Authorities urge anyone with dashcam footage or information to contact them via:

Community Impact
The incident has drawn significant public attention due to Giuffre’s high-profile legal history. Local residents have expressed concern over the discrepancy between her claims and the bus driver’s account, as well as the lack of official injury reports.

Road Safety Context
While the crash was described as minor by authorities, it highlights the importance of:

  • Proper signaling and cautious driving, especially near school buses.
  • Accurate reporting of incidents to ensure transparency and public trust.
