CAR v BUS
Tuesday 3rd November – 12.05am – Claire Thomas
A woman has been taken to hospital after the car she was in
collided with a bus full of school children in
Herefordshire.
West Midlands Ambulance Service was called to the B4360 in
Kingsland at around 8.30am this morning (Tuesday) and an ambulance
was sent to the scene.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokeswoman said: "The crew
arrived to find a car which had been in collision with a single
decker bus. The bus ended up in a hedge in the crash.
"The driver of the car, a woman in her 40s, was on her way to
work when the incident happened. She suffered neck, wrist and leg
injuries in the crash and was trapped in the car for a period.
"Crews worked with the fire service at the scene to carefully
extricate her from the car by removing the roof whilst she received
treatment for her injuries.
"The woman was immobilised with a neck collar and spinal board
and given pain relief before being taken by land ambulance to
Hereford County Hospital.
"Around 30 school children from the bus, all believed to be in
their teens, were checked over by the crew but luckily no one was
injured in the crash."
