Video: Police: ski trip coach crash kills 22 children and six adults Police said 28 people, including 22 children, died. The bus was carrying 52 passengers from the cities of Lommel and Heverlee in Flanders, close to the Swiss border. Twenty-four more children aboard the bus were injured, some seriously, and were being treated in hospital, police added. "It is unprecedented," said a police spokesman from Sierre, in the canton of Valais in Switzerland, close to where the accident occured. For reasons as yet unknown, the coach veered straight into a tunnel wall. Parents and officials waited at St Lambertus, one of the two schools attended by students involved in the crash, to hear news of their loved ones. The parents are in the school, we are trying to get some information. It is not easy because we don't know what happened with the victims. The other children are not going to the class, there is no class today because also the teachers are very emotional so it is impossible to give classes," Marc Vranckix, Leuven Police Commissioner said.
