Three children have been seriously injured when their school bus hit a railway bridge.

The double-decker's roof was torn off in the crash in Wellhouse Lane, Winchester, shortly after 08:10 BST.

All pupils on board, from the city's Henry Beaufort School, were aged between 11 and 16, police said.

The three badly hurt children were taken to hospital, while a further 13 were treated at the scene for minor injuries, Hampshire police said.

Zoe, aged 14, who was travelling on the top deck of the bus said the roof fell in on top of everyone "and everyone started screaming".

"It felt like 'am I going to live or am I going to die' - everyone was crying and shaking it was a huge shock", she said.

The road remains closed between the junction with Andover Road North to School Lane.

A Hampshire Constabulary spokesman said the force was working with the school and county council children's services to provide support to students and parents.
