Birthday Teen Among School Bus Victims
One of two teenagers who died when a school bus crashed into a car in Cumbria was celebrating her 16th birthday.
She was one of the two teen victims who have today been named by police as Kieron Goulding, 15, and Chloe Walker, 16.
The male driver of a Honda Civic car, who has not yet been formally identified, was also killed.
Four people remain in a critical condition after the 49-seater, which was taking pupils home from Keswick School, crashed on the A66 on Monday.
The coach was carrying children back to their homes in and around Cockermouth, about 13 miles away, when it crashed.
It is believed the driver of the coach, which was run by J.B. Pickthall based in Rowrah, West Cumbria, had swerved to avoid another vehicle when the collision occurred.
It is thought nearly 40 people were injured, most of them children at the secondary school who were taken back to their homes in and around the town of Cockermouth.
Their injuries range from cuts and fractures to spinal injuries.
Ch Insp Kevin Greenhow, of Cumbria Police, said his officers and other emergency workers "found a very difficult situation to deal with".
