Shock Swiss
Bus Crash. A bus carrying Belgian students crashed into a tunnel wall in
Switzerland, killing 28 people, 22 of which were children.
Another 24 students were taken to hospital
with injuries, local police say.
The bus was carrying 12-year-olds from two
schools back from a ski holiday in the southwestern region of Valais when it
crashed on Tuesday evening. The cause of the accident has yet to be determined.
The bus was not speeding at the time of the
accident, nor was other vehicle involved, local prosecutor Olivier Elsig told
reporters Wednesday. He also said that all the children on the bus were wearing
seat belts.
Police reported that the bus veered, hit a
curb and then crashed into a concrete wall. The front of the vehicle was
heavily damaged by the impact, leaving people trapped inside.
The highway was closed for traffic as the
rescue operation was underway, AP reported. Some eight helicopters and a dozen
ambulances took victims to the hospital. Dozens of firefighters and police, 15
doctors and three psychologists were also called to the scene.
Belgium has announced a day of national
mourning after the tragic news broke. The country’s Prime Minister Elio Di Rupo
is to travel to Switzerland, local RTBF TV channel reports. The government has
offered all necessary assistance to the victims and their families.
It’s likely that the
driver of the bus was sleepy
I bet that people will never
forget this accident so tragic
There's a good chance
that a car has crossed
I doubt that the driver
was sober
It doesn't seem
possible that being two drivers they have crashed
It's unlikely that the
bus was speeding at the time of the accident
This is a painful fact, it’s good to know that soon
will end the suffering.
Well, hope you liked it... Please, leave a comment!
Have A Nice Day!
