Fifteen people were injured, two of them seriously, when a bus carrying teenagers from Wales rolled over on a motorway in eastern France on Saturday, the local gendarmerie said. The bus skidded for around 250 metres (yards) before ending up on its side in a ditch. The two most seriously injured are both 16 and from southwestern England, said local deputy prefect Laure Lebon, adding all passengers had been wearing their seatbelts, preventing more serious injuries or deaths. “Circumstances would suggest the driver fell asleep,” said Lebon, adding the driver was not speeding and was not driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs but was shortly due to be relieved. One of the youngsters is thought to have sustained life-threatening injuries, according to local emergency services.
