A college bus which crashed off a road into a river “like a scene out of the movie Speed” had suffered “brake failure and a jammed accelerator”, according to one of the first witnesses to reach the scene.
Police have praised the bravery of members of the public and emergency services who helped rescue some of the students and the driver who were trapped on board the Bluestar bus following the accident in Bishopstoke Road, Eastleigh, Hampshire.
