Brakes query in Navan bus crash probe

SPECULATION mounted last night that the anti-lock braking system was switched off on a school bus when it crashed last May killing five girls.

It is also believed conditions on the road at the time may have played a significant part in the crash in Navan, Co Meath, which injured 46 children.

Bus Éireann yesterday completed its investigation into the accident which killed Lisa Callan, Claire McCluskey, Sinéad Ledwidge, Aimee McCabe and Deirdre Scanlon.
