Seventeen people were hurt when a coach veered off a motorway slip road and overturned in heavy fog, as poor visibility brought travel chaos to the new year getaway.

The male driver and 16 men and women passengers suffered injuries including broken bones, cuts and bruises when the Oxford Bus Company coach crashed off the northbound slip road at junction 7 of the M40 near Milton Common in Oxfordshire at 2.45am on Friday.
