A Tongan student who lost one of his legs in a bus crash on Christmas Eve a year ago says he can no longer pursue some of his dreams.

Three people died when the bus carrying a school brass band plunged down a steep bank south of Gisborne.

The bus driver was sentenced yesterday and our reporter Sarah Robson was at the Waitakere District Court in Auckland.
