Bus Carrying 52 Pupils Overturns In Co Cork
A bus carrying 52 secondary school pupils overturned as it rounded a bend in Co Cork shortly after 8am on Monday morning.
It is understood the bus was travelling from Ballyhooly to Fermoy when it is believed to have slid on the wet road. There was heavy rainfall at the time of the accident.
Three pupils were unable to escape the overturned bus due to a tree blocking the rear exit and had to be freed by emergency services.
Four children were taken to Cork University Hospital – two for minor injuries and two for precautionary reasons.
An investigation into the cause of the accident is underway.
