Chelsea Daniels: ZB justice reporter on the survivors of fatal 2019 White Island eruption giving evidence in court - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

Survivors of the fatal Whakaari White Island eruption in 2019 have given evidence in court today.

22 people died and 25 were injured.

WorkSafe has accused six parties of health and safety failures before the disaster.

ZB justice reporter Chelsea Daniels is covering the trial.

She says US honeymooners Matthew and Lauren Urey told their story today.

"Lauren remembers hiding behind a rock where she knows others were too, because she could hear their screams. She was concerned about holding her hard hat in place because of the debris hurtling towards them."
