The bus collided with a minibus and a car at 3:30pm on Wednesday outside the English Martyrs School, in Catcote Road.

Shocked young eyewitnesses described how the minibus appeared to swerve to avoid a child that had run into the road.

The school minibus then ploughed into a fence and a tree where a crowd of passing youngsters were gathered.
