Two School Buses Crash on Icy Roads as UK Prepares for Storm Goretti
Storm Goretti causes hazardous icy roads leading to two school bus crashes, with 20cm snow expected to disrupt travel across Wales and the Midlands, Met Office warns.
- On Thursday evening the Met Office issued an amber warning for heavy snow from 8pm Thursday to 9am Friday, covering Sheffield, Leicester, the West Midlands and Wales.
- Named by Meteo France, Storm Goretti is forecast to bring wet, windy and wintry weather from the south-west with 5-10cm of snow widely in Wales and the Midlands and up to 30cm locally.
- An amber wind warning covers parts of Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, with forecasters warning of 80-90 mph gusts and possible disruption to trains and planes.
- Two buses full of school children crashed on Wednesday on icy roads, with a Wokingham collision injuring nine children, the coach driver, and eight adults, and two taken to Royal Berkshire Hospital.
- Rising school closures and roadside incidents underscore likely wider disruption this week, with Virgin Media O2 reporting broadband traffic up 17.4% on Tuesday and a lorry stranded in Nottingham.
