School children escaped injury when the bus they were travelling on hit a railway bridge, causing damage to the top of the school bus. Forty children were on the bus at the time. The bus accident happened in Cefn-y-Bedd on Wednesday afternoon. The school children had been out on a trip and were travelling back to the Wirral.
The bus passengers were checked for injury and some were badly shaken from the accident. The children were then taken to another school to wait for more transport to get them back.
Network Rail were called to carry out an inspection of the bridge. Arriva Trains Wales which travel on the Wrexham to Deeside line were stopped, but carried on again soon after.
The bus did not get stuck under the bridge, however, damage was caused to the roof.
The bus belongs to Happy Al’s Coaches of Birkenhead.
An ambulance and a rapid response vehicle attended the bus accident scene, the driver was said to be in shock. North Wales police also attended the scene.
Other accidents have happened on the bridge in the last few years. In 2005 a double decker bus had the top ripped off.

A bus passenger accident claim for compensation can be made by passengers who have been injured by bus driver negligence.
The bus accident may be due to the driver braking too hard causing passengers to be thrown in the aisles causing injuries.
A successful bus passenger claim was made by Mr stone, 51, from Kettering in 2006 who suffered injuries due to excessive braking. This caused the passenger to be thrown in the bus aisle. The accident caused Mr Stone to be injured on a bolt which was sticking out from the bus handrail. This caused an injury to his hip and knocked him unconcious. The injured passenger ended up slumped under the windscreen of the bus. In addition to the hip injury, Mr Stone also suffered back and whiplash injuries, which have affected his work.
Mr Stone made a claim against Stagecoach for the accident, which took some time to win, however he was awarded £5,500 in compensation.
Mr Stone said “After four and a half years I have finally got a settlement. I feel so angry. I know there is a compensation culture but people have still got the right to claim for their losses.”
The claim for bus passeneger compensation which Mr Stone made was settled out of court.
After being injured on a bus in a non fault accident, you can claim passenger compensation with Accident Advice Bureau by calling 0845 10 88 333 or by clicking: Bus Passenger Claim.
Bus companies have a responsibility to ensure they are not at fault for causing injury to passengers whilst on a bus journey. Many injured bus passengers suffer due to the negligence of the driver, this could be through lack of concentration, driving too fast around corners or hitting a vehicle for example.
In an incredible scene, a National Express bus driver could have caused an accident and injury to bus passengers as well as other road users by reading a book whilst he was driving. The bus was on a dual carriageway and the driver was steering with his elbows. This was filmed by a passenger on the bus with a mobile phone. The recording was taken after the passenger got on the National Express bus in Selly Oak, Birmingham. The incident happened on the Bristol Road South, heading out of the City.
National Express West Midlands are taking disciplinary action against the driver of the bus who could be sacked as a result. National Express have made it clear that public safety is their priority and such action by their drivers is not acceptable.
Bus passenger accident claims for compensation often arise from injuries to passengers caused by poor driving by the driver or from the negligence of other road users.
Most people who travel on bus will do so safely and reach their destination without any problems. There are times however, when the bus driver fails to ensure the safety of the passengers and drives erratically resulting in an accident. We have been successful in helping many people to claim for being injured on a bus, due to drivers negligence.
Any injured bus passenger suffering due to an accident on a bus, should report the details to the driver and bus company and have witness details available if possible. As much information as possible should be recorded of the events leading up to and following the accident, by the injured passenger, as a full account of the details will be needed should a claim for compensation be made.
In order to make a claim for passenger injuries with us, the injury must be diagnosed by a doctor.
A claim for a bus passenger accident will need to be made within three years of the accident date. We usually find that the bus accident claims we handle are for accidents on a bus that have hapened very recently. Making a claim sooner rather than later is usually favourable as the details are more fresh in the mind and often it makes gaining the relevant information easier.
We ensure our clients receive maximum injury compensation and their claims are handled on a no win no fee basis.

Children travelling to and from school on a school bus should be safe at all times and not suffer an injury due to the bus driver’s accident or negligence.
A claim for a child school bus accident was made with us, as the bus driver drove at speed round a corner and the rear of the bus bounced up onto the kerb. This caused the child to suffer an injury as she was thrown with severe force in the seat and hit her head on the rear of the bus. The child suffered injuries despite having the lap belt on.
The school bus accident was witnessed by other passengers and the details were reported to the bus company.
The child was taken to hospital and was diagnosed with whiplash injuries as well as a large lump to the head from hitting it on the bus.
Child school bus compensation claims such as this are worked on by our injury solicitors who put a no win no fee agreement in place. We ensure 100% of the compensation awarded is paid out on successful child bus injury claims, with no money being asked for at any time. You can claim by clicking: Children Injured on School Bus.
