Coach carrying Shropshire school pupils involved in collision
A coach carrying pupils from a Shropshire school was today involved in a collision.
The coach was carrying pupils from Adams’ Grammar School in Newport, when it was involved in a collision with a car on the A41 at Perton shortly after 8.05am.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman said: “There were eighteen children on the bus, seventeen of whom were checked over and discharged at the scene. The eighteenth, a boy, later developed neck pain and he was taken to New Cross Hospital for that to be checked over.
A woman who is in her fifties and driver of the Mercedes was trapped by the damage and was cut free by the fire service. She had an ankle injury. Crews immobilised her with the use of a spinal board and neck collar as a precaution and took her to New Cross Hospital.
“The coach driver had arm and leg pain and he was taken to the same hospital for checks.
“None of the injuries were serious.”
