A bus carrying school children in eastern France<\/a>\u00a0crashed on Friday morning, French media reported.<\/p>\n

At least two people were killed, a child and a young adult,\u00a0and 16 others were injured in the incident, including three seriously injured.<\/p>\n

French broadcaster BFMTV reported that the incident happened close to the town of Lent in the department of Ain and that two people were seriously injured.<\/p>\n

“It is always a difficult moment when our students, our children, are victims of an accident like this. My thoughts, and those of the government and the entire education community, are with the families,” Education Minister Edouard Geffray told reporters while visiting a high school in the Paris region.<\/p>\n

What do we know so far about the bus crash in France?<\/h2>\n

Prosecutors said the bus had been carrying 43 passengers, including 15 minors, travelling between Lyon and\u00a0Bourg-en-Bresse.<\/p>\n

Lent Mayor Yves Cristin said the bus went\u00a0off the road and crashed into a tree in a ditch around 7 a.m. (0600 GMT).<\/p>\n

He added that 70 people were involved in the incident and the local community hall had been opened up to shelter the victims of the crash.<\/p>\n

“This is an absolute tragedy that has struck our community,”\u00a0Cristin told\u00a0BFMTV. “The accident occurred in a location on the road where there are no major difficulties.”<\/p>\n

“The road was slightly damp, and we don’t understand why the bus left its lane, crossed the road, and ended up in the opposite ditch,”\u00a0he added.<\/p>\n

“Unfortunately, there was a tree in its path, and it was this tree that made the accident so tragic.”<\/p>\n

More to come…<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n
