Girl, 16, dies as lorry crashes into schoolbus

A SCHOOLGIRL died and her cousin was critically injured when a lorry crashed into their schoolbus on a notoriously dangerous Northern Ireland road yesterday.

Five other children and the bus driver were hurt when the articulated lorry ploughed into the back of the bus as it turned into school gates.

The 44-year-old lorry driver was arrested at the scene on suspicion of dangerous driving and later released pending further police investigation.
