Busy night in Staffordshire....
« on: 18 August 2008, 22:54:07 »
Just caught this on the webnews.....  

One person died and more than 60 people were injured after a coach crashed into a garden in Alton, Staffordshire, emergency services said.

Seven people were still trapped in the wreckage and two people were airlifted to hospital after the coach crashed over a bridge and then careered into a garden.

Two helicopters, eight ambulances, four rapid response cars, a doctor and two first responders have been sent to the scene at Station Road.

One of my aquaintances is a Police Officer on the scene, apparently at least one is confirmed dead. It is thought they are foreign workers  :'(

That used to jokes was expecting something like the old 2 seater irish plane crashing into a cemetery, rescue workers finding 100's of bodys and the search continuning.

Was shocked when I realised it wasnt and a tragic accident :(

I am familiar with those roads too, they can easily catch out the unaware.

Never like hearing this kind of news, especially when they were on their way for a day of fun.
