A woman and a young child are fighting for their lives after crashing head-first into a double-decker bus in Cornwall.
The boy and woman, in her 30s, were driving a Vauxhall Astra when they collided with a school bus at around 8:40am on the B3296 Meaver Road in Mullion.
Four school children onboard the bus were also injured in the crash, and the woman and boy have reportedly suffered life-threatening injuries.
One of the injured children was airlifted to Plymouth hospital, while the others were taken to Royal Cornwall.
Sgt Phil Brown, of the Devon and Cornwall Police serious collision team, told the BBC: ‘We owe the people involved in this collision a full and frank investigation to find out the circumstances.’
The school bus was carrying pupils from secondary school Mullion School, which is part of the Truro and Penwith Academy Trust.
The trust said: ‘We can confirm some students had relatively minor injuries that were treated quickly by first responders.
‘The initial response was exceptionally well-supported by the emergency services, and our students are receiving ongoing support from school staff who moved to assist with the scene.’
Forensic and drone teams have been called in to piece together what has been described as a ‘complex’ crash.
