Bride-to-be injured in bus crash might not walk again "Beth was a fun and bubbly girl who was caring and considerate to everyone she met," said her family. She was the apple of her grandad's eye and she will never be forgotten and sadly missed by everyone. Tributes to the victims and messages of support flooded on to Facebook yesterday, with Holly Jackson writing on Ms Jones' page: "RIP Beth hope ur family are holding up. In total 21 women were injured in the collision near Pontefract, West Yorkshire, and eight remain in hospital in a "serious but stable condition," one of whom is in intensive care, West Yorkshire Police said. The driver of the lorry was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and has been released on bail, police said. One patient, a woman in her 40s, suffered suspected serious chest injuries and was anaesthetised before being transported, while another was airlifted to hospital also with chest injuries. Ms Jones' mum Diane, 49, and hairdresser sister Amy, 25, were among those seriously hurt in the crash, while Miss Firth's future mother-in-law Lesley Leafe, 56, was also injured. Firefighters called the crash "the worst they had seen in a number of years," and six air ambulances helped rush the victims to nearby hospitals. Brian Capstick, a councillor for South Elmsall, who knows the family, said the tragedy would hit the community hard. "The community is completely stunned with what's happened," he told BBC Radio 5 Live. It's a very tragic accident. It's affected a lot of lives, what you've got to appreciate is it's a very close knit ex-mining community. A lot of the young girls that were involved and the mothers who where involved with them, are all inter-related, very strong ties being an ex-mining community. He added: "I have been speaking to friends and relatives who have attended the hospital, some of the injuries are absolutely horrendous. It really is tragic, it's dawning on people locally what the effect will be.
