Passengers on board the National Express coach which crashed at Newport Pagnell services had a remarkable escape.
None of the people taken to hospital have life threatening injuries say police investigating yesterday's incident.

The 777 Birmingham to Stansted service rolled on to its side as it left the motorway at the service station at around 4pm.

Police can now confirm where those still receiving medical treatment following the Newport Pagnell coach incident are from.

Four patients remain at Northampton General Hospital. They include:

• The driver, aged 34, from West Bromwich. He is being treated for an injured arm and cracked ribs

• A 45-year-old woman from Church Stretton, near Shrewsbury, in Shropshire suffering from a dislocated elbow, shoulder and facial injuries

• A 60-year-old man from Goussanoville in France being treated for cuts to his head

• A 28-year-old man from Coventry suffering a cracked knee

Two patients remain at Milton Keynes General Hospital. They are

• A 57-year-old woman from Victoria, Australia

• A 20-year-old man from Gdansk, Poland

Two patients are being treated at the JRII in Oxford. They are:

• A 39-year-old woman from Worcester being treated for a head injury

• A 61-year-old man from Kenilworth, Warwickshire, suffering from serious arm injuries, a broken pelvis and facial injuries

The driver, who was arrested on suspicion of drink and dangerous driving, is being treated for arm and chest injuries.

He will be interviewed when well enough and police have appealed for anyone who saw the coach on its journey from Birmingham or witnessed the incident to call them on 0845 8 505 505 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
