1 seriously injured after school bus crash in Ehnen

A school bus carrying about 40 students crashed violently into a car on Friday morning south-east of the country, leaving one person with serious injuries.

The incident happened in Route de Vin in Ehnen when the bus, transporting mostly students of Lycée de Grevenmacher crashed with force into a car, for unknown reasons at this stage. The impact was so violent, the bus was even run partially off the road where it hit a lamppost before coming to a halt in front of a field.

The car driver was seriously hurt and initially trapped inside the vehicle. He had to be freed by firefighters before being rushed to hospital.

Luckily however none of the students appeared to be physically hurt, although five of them complained of pain and were immediately transported to hospital for a check-up.

The other students took a replacement bus to school, where they were offered psychological help.

The bus driver was also lucky to escape the accident with only bruises.

As of 9am on Friday morning the road was completely blocked and ACL advises motorists to avoid the area if possible.
