Monday 10th November– 11.30am – Suzie Wheaton.

Almost 50 people, mainly school children, have been assessed and treated by ambulance crews after the bus they were travelling in went down an embankment and overturned.

Seven ambulances, a paramedic area support officer, two senior paramedic officers and the Midlands Air Ambulance from Strensham were dispatched to the incident on Holme Lacy Road in Hereford shortly after 8.20am today. A MARS BASICS Doctor that was initially dispatched to the scene was diverted to Hereford County Hospital to assist with the further triage of casualties as they arrived at A&E.

A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokeswoman said: “Crews arrived to find a bus at the bottom of an embankment lying on its left-hand side. All of the passengers on board had managed to get out of the bus before the crew’s arrival.

Nasty!

Thank God there were no fatalities.

I hope an investigation reveals what went wrong.

Yes lucky for all to escape alive. The poor busdriver came off the worst, I hope she will soon make a good recovery.
