| Children hurt as school bus roof ripped off by bridge - Lancashire, Dec 2025 Posted by Chris from Nailsea at 16:28, 3rd December 2025 |     |
From the BBC:
Several children have been hurt after the roof of a school double-decker bus was ripped off when it hit a low bridge.
Among the injured was an eight-year-old boy who was taken to hospital with a "non-serious" head injury following the crash on Spendmore Lane, Coppull, Lancashire, at about 12:30 GMT.
The bus was carrying some pupils from Wood Fold Primary School, in Standish, Wigan, the BBC understands. The school declined to comment.
Paramedics assessed the children at the scene and all but the eight-year-old boy were discharged from their care, North West Ambulance Service said. Emergency services remain at the scene and a road closure is in place.
"A number of children suffered injuries, which are thankfully thought to be relatively minor at this time," Lancashire Police said.
