  1. I sincerely hope everyone comes out ok. I seen a pic of the bus and it looks like it tumbled off the road or something, those poor kids must have been terrified!

  2. I was wondering why there were so many ambulances flying up the motorway on the way home from work. Hope everyone is OK, must have been terrifying for all involved.
