School coach crash victims all out of hospital

The children and teachers onboard had been returning from an end-of-year trip to the zoo

Almost a month on from a bus crash which killed a 10-year-old boy, police say those injured in the collision have all been discharged from hospital.

Oliver Price died of a head injury when a coach carrying Minehead Middle School pupils left the road near Wheddon Cross in Somerset and slid down a 6m (20ft) slope on 17 July.

The children and teachers onboard had been returning from an end-of-year trip to Exmoor Zoo when the coach flipped onto its roof and slid down a bank.

In total, 21 people were taken to hospital to be treated for injuries. Avon and Somerset Police say their investigation into the incident is ongoing.

A hearing at Wells Coroner's Court last month heard that Oliver had been found in his seat with his seatbelt on, and was declared dead at the scene by paramedics.

A full inquest is set to take place on 14 January next year and will look into the events of the day before the crash, the circumstances in which the coach left the road and Oliver's medical cause of death.

The inquest is due to hear from Oliver's family, adult passengers on the coach, witnesses, the coach driver, emergency service workers and a pathologist.
