The crash involved a car and a school bus

A one-year-old boy has died following a crash that also killed his mother.

Devon and Cornwall Police said officers were called to the incident involving a Vauxhall Astra and a double decker school bus in Mullion, Cornwall, at about 08:40 BST on Monday.

On Thursday police said the boy's mother, a local woman in her 30s who was in the car with her son, died in hospital.

The police said one child on the school bus received serious injuries that were not thought to be life-threatening, and 27 others sustained minor injuries in the incident.

Sgt Phil Brown from Devon and Cornwall Police serious collision team said: “We are deeply saddened that a woman and child have now died following the collision in Mullion earlier this week.

“It is impossible to put into words the grief those close to them are feeling right now.

“Our thoughts continue to be with everybody involved as we continue to work with the school and partners to make sure everybody receives the support they require following this tragic collision.”
