Swiss Tunnel Crash..

22 children and six adults killed plus dozens injured after their 'speeding' bus crashes in Swiss tunnel returning from ski trip

• 28, including the 22 children, killed after bus 'veered and hit a kerb, then rammed into a concrete wall in the tunnel'
• Coach was one of three carrying Belgian schoolchildren home from skiing holiday
  
• Most of the children killed were aged just 12 years old
• Police: 'Tragedy is worst road traffic accident in Swiss history'

A catastrophic coach crash that killed at least 22 children and six adults - after the vehicle veered, hit a kerb and then rammed into a concrete wall in a Swiss tunnel - could have been caused by speeding.
Police said the vehicle, in which the 12-year-old schoolchildren were travelling, was going 'considerably faster' than the 63mph speed limit as it careered into an underpass wall on the A9 highway, near Sierre, Valais, close to the border with Italy.
Swiss crash scene investigators told Belgium's Le Soir newspaper: 'The coach was travelling at very high speed. It was going considerably faster than the speed limit on a stretch of road where the speed is limited to 100kmh.'
Dozens more were injured in the smash, which came as a school party of 52 returned from an Alpine skiing holiday to the villages of Lommel and Heverlee in the Flemish region of Belgium. 
Photographs showed the bus rammed up against the side of the tunnel, the front ripped open, broken glass and debris strewn on the road and rescue workers climbing in through side windows.
