Bus crash pupil leaves hospital

A schoolgirl was taken to hospital after the crash

A child was taken to hospital after a collision involving a school bus, a 4x4 vehicle and a lorry in County Tyrone.

It happened on the Favour Royal Road near Augher and involved a bus carrying 16 pupils to St Ciaran's High School.

The girl was treated for neck injuries in Craigavon Area Hospital, but was later discharged. The other pupils were shocked but were able to go to school.

Last month, Nicola Murray, a pupil at the school, died when a lorry was in collision with the bus she was in.

Monday's accident took place at about 0900 GMT.

The Southern Education and Library Board said the 57-seater bus involved in the accident was fitted with seatbelts which were being worn.

In a statement, school principal Aidan Taggart said extra support was still being offered to pupils.

"We are continuing to provide a safe and protective environment with as normal a routine as possible following the recent traumatic weeks," he said.
