Three children were seriously injured and more than a dozen more after a double-decker school bus crashed into a bridge in Hampshire.
Police told Sky News they had been called into a “serious collision” in Well House Lane, Winchester, at 8.10am.
“A school bus collided with a railroad bridge and caused significant damage to the top of the bus,” Hampshire police said.
“Three students with serious but not fatal injuries were taken to the hospital. Another 13 students with minor injuries were treated at the scene.
A witness told Sky News that the bus was full and that several students had been injured.
“The roof was ripped off by the tunnel and fell to the side of the bus,” they said.
All the students involved are between the ages of 11 and 16, police added.
Well House Lane is closed from the junction with Andover Road North to School Lane as emergency services are dealing with this incident.
“We are working cooperatively with the Hampshire County Council School and Children’s Services to provide support for students and their parents,” police said.
