Coach crash claims sixth victim

Daytrippers died when the coach swerved off the road

A sixth passenger has died following a coach crash on the M25 in Berkshire.

Jane Margaret Wedgbury, 39, from Alcester, Warwickshire, died on Tuesday at Hillingdon Hospital in Uxbridge, West London.

Another woman passenger remains in a critical condition at Wexham Park Hospital in Slough.

Coach drivers Graham Spring, 56, and Christopher Sloane, 42, and Mr Sloane's wife Karen, all from Evesham, died along with passengers Bernard Coppin, 62, from Drakes Broughton, Pershore, and Norma Evans, 54, of Badsey, Evesham.

The group from Worcestershire had been returning from a day-trip to northern France.

Vehicle checked

The coach crashed between junctions 15 and 16 on Saturday night.

Police are still trying to find out the cause of the accident but said no other vehicle was involved.

A Thames Valley Police spokeswoman said: "The coach involved in the incident is currently being examined as part of the police investigation into the crash."

The coach firm - WR Spring and Son - is a family business based in Evesham and owned by victim Graham Spring.

The East Berkshire coroner is due to open an inquest later this week.
