A woman has sadly died following a road traffic collision involving a school bus in Mullion.

Officers were called to to reports of collision involving a silver Vauxhall Astra and a double decker school bus on the B3296 in Meaver Road on Monday, October 14 at around 8.40am

The two occupants of the Vauxhall, a local woman in her thirties and a young male child, sustained life-threatening injuries in the collision.

Tragically, the woman has since passed away in hospital. The child remains at Bristol Children’s Hospital in a serious life-threatening condition. Their next of kin are aware.

Twenty seven children on the school bus sustained minor injuries and one child from the bus sustained serious injuries but these are not life threatening.

Officers from the Roads Policing Team would like to thank the public for their patience whilst investigations took place.

Sergeant Phil Brown from the Serious Collisions Investigation Team said: “We are working in conjunction with the school and our partners to ensure everybody receives the support they need following this tragic incident.

“Our thoughts continue to be with everybody involved.”

Anyone with any relevant information or dashcam footage which may assist the investigation is asked to contact police by calling 101, quoting 50240260109.
