An off-duty ambulance worker jumped into a river to save screaming children after a bus crash yesterday, as police confirmed the 'hero' driver and a 16-year-old schoolgirl remain in hospital with major injuries.
The bus, which was carrying 19 children and the driver at the time of the crash, careered down a busy road and collided with a car before leaving the edge of the street and toppling into a river.
The double-decker crashed yesterday morning at around 10am in Eastleigh, Hampshire, while carrying children on their way to Barton Peveril College.
The driver, a 69-year-old male, and a 16-year-old girl suffered serious injuries and are still in hospital.
Three other teenagers, two girls and boy all aged 17, sustained serious injuries but have since been discharged from hospital.
