ELEVEN children were injured when the roof of the double decker bus they were travelling in was ripped off after crashing into a bridge in England.
The bus was carrying 69 children on a school trip, according to the Mirror. One passenger was taken to hospital with a back injury and 10 children sustained cuts and bruises requiring medical attention, London 24 reports.
The children were about three kilometres from their destination, the Thorpe Park theme park.
George Yerosimou, head teacher of St John's School in Epping, Essex, where the children travelled from, wrote on the school's website: "I have just been informed that the double decker coach transporting our students on the Gold Trip to Thorpe Park has been involved in an accident.
"We have spoken to a number of staff and we are able to confirm that there are no serious injuries although some students may have suffered some cuts and bruises."
It is thought the bus was about 32cm too tall to go under the bridge.
An eyewitness told the Mirror: "How nobody has been killed is unbelievable. I didn't hear it because I had earphones in but I saw all the cars started turning around and thought something is going on."
A construction worker, Stephen Bird, told Get Surrey he heard a lot of screaming and went to investigate. "I saw the roof ripped off and lying under the bridge and then the bus up the road. Lots of children were gathered on the pavement.
"It must have been absolutely horrible for them. Thank goodness no one was hurt. It could have been a lot, lot worse."
Val Mitchell, a local medical receptionist, said: "The doctors have been out to help. There have been no major injuries but a couple of the youngsters suffered minor injuries ... They are of secondary school age, around mid teens, roughly 14 or 15.
"They obviously managed to duck at the right time. It is quite a miracle that they did not suffer any major head injuries."
