It happened just before 21.00 near Alford.

The police say the minibus crashed into a garden by the A1028 at Ulceby.

The children on board ranged in age from 14 months to nine.

Several of those on board were taken to hospital for treatment, although none of the injuries are reported to be serious.

An investigation has now begun into why the minibus crashed - it had been hired in the Middlesborough area.
