A school bus transporting 40 students crashes into a brook in the French Mountains

School bus transporting 40 young children home from a trip to the French Alps crashed down a wooded hill and into a creek, according to authorities. The driver and his companion were hospitalized with serious injuries.

According to Fabien Mulyk, mayor of the town of Corps, where the incident occurred, 18 children and one other adult were treated for minor wounds.

The kids, he claimed, were “all doing fine.”

The regional prosecutor has opened an investigation into the incident. The mayor said the ‘most probable scenario’ is that the driver had some kind of medical problem while behind the wheel.

Local officials told French media that weather conditions were clear when the bus left the road, and no ice or snow on the section where the bus vehicle crashed. They said all the children were wearing seat belts.

A photo from the town published online showed the bus leaning off the slope of a ravine in a tangle of dried branches with its windshield shattered.
