Authorities begin moving bodies from MH17 crash site

Specialist teams have begun recovering bodies from the MH17 wreckage in eastern Ukraine.

Investigators are slowly being granted access to the site.

It’s understood the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) team was allowed into the site for nearly two hours yesterday and could speak to local witnesses.

Up to fifty body bags were placed into a truck and driven away.

The truck driver told 9NEWS he had no idea where he was taking the bodies, which have been lying in a field for two days.

The OSCE team will return to the site tomorrow.
