Several children were injured after the roof of a double-decker school bus was ripped off when it crashed into 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 accident in Spendmore Lane, Coppull, Lancashire, at around 12:30 GMT.
The bus was carrying some pupils from Wood Fold Primary School, in Standish, Wigan, the BBC learned. The school declined to comment.
Paramedics assessed the children at the scene and all but the eight-year-old boy were discharged, North West Ambulance Service said. Emergency services remain at the scene and the road has been closed.
“A number of children suffered injuries, which fortunately are believed to be relatively minor at this time,” Lancashire Police said.
