Three children have been taken to hospital with "serious but not life-threatening" injuries, and a dozen more hurt after a double-decker school bus crashed into a bridge in Hampshire, England, on Thursday.
The force of the impact was enough to rip off the bus roof and the Henry Beaufort School pupils inside were in a state of panic.
"There was this massive bang and you could smell the friction, the smoke, and all the windows smashed, and glass came in and people had cuts," Jake, a pupil of the Winchester school, told Sky News.
Head teacher Sue Hearle said the accident was "distressing" and that she was "extremely relieved" it was not more serious.
Part of Well House Lane was closed to let emergency services deal with the situation.
