SOMERSET, ENGLAND, JUL 24 – Oliver Price, 10, died from head injuries after a coach carrying 60 to 70 pupils overturned on a steep slope, with 21 people hospitalized, authorities said.
- Oliver Price, a 10-year-old student of Minehead Middle School, died from head injuries after the bus transporting him and other pupils went off the A396 near Timberscombe on July 17 and slid down a steep 20-foot embankment.
- The crash occurred during the return from a school trip to Exmoor Zoo and involved around 60 to 70 pupils and staff, with 21 people hospitalized.
- An off-duty firefighter who was following the coach acted quickly to assist passengers in escaping. Several children have since been released from hospital, but two children and three adults are still receiving treatment.
- Coroner Vanessa McKinlay began the inquest by reporting that Oliver’s death was initially attributed to a head injury, though further laboratory tests are awaited, and scheduled a one-day hearing for January 14 to hear testimony from passengers, the driver, and expert investigators.
- The coach was recovered for detailed examination, and online fundraisers have raised over £25,000 for those affected, while McKinlay offered condolences to Oliver's family.
