Coach crash injures twenty passengers

Twenty people have suffered passenger injuries after a coach accident in Pickering, North Yorkshire.

The multiple collisions between two coaches and a car involved more than 100 people including a party of schoolchildren from Newcastle on a day trip.

At least 20 people were injured, four seriously, after a coach crashed with another coach and was then hit from behind by a car.

The majority of those hurt were described as "walking wounded" and were treated at the scene.

A spokesperson for Yorkshire Ambulance said, "It appears most people had a lucky escape."

The full details surrounding the cause of the crash have yet to be released and Yorkshire Police are appealing for witnesses to help them further their investigations into this coach accident.
