Mother's panic as daughter calls after bus crash

The collision happened on the A1035 near the village of Seaton on Wednesday

A mother has described going into "panic mode" after her daughter called her to say her school bus had been involved in a crash.

Donna Cooper's 15-year-old daughter had her front teeth knocked out when a double-decker bus collided with a tractor near Seaton in East Yorkshire

More than 30 schoolchildren were injured, two of them seriously, in the incident on Wednesday afternoon.

Ms Cooper said: "All I got was part of a video call and all I could see was blood everywhere."

She rushed to the scene and said she had initially been unable to find her daughter.

"When I got there, it was just carnage," she said.

"There was children everywhere in the road, there was ambulances.

"When I eventually found her, she was stood with a bandage to her mouth and when she took it away there was blood everywhere.

"She'd lost all front teeth and she'd suffered quite bad facial trauma."

The bus was taking around 40 pupils from Hornsea School and Language College.

A girl and a boy, both 15 years old, had been taken to hospital with serious injuries, while 29 passengers, aged between 11 and 16, had suffered minor injuries, Humberside Police said.

Ms Cooper said her daughter had no recollection of the accident but remembered being on the bus "and then nothing".

The teenager has damage to her soft palate and will require implants to replace the lost teeth.

"We don't know how long this treatment is going to take and, not only that, we don't know what mental state she's going to be in afterwards," Ms Cooper said.
