A coach carrying dozens of Belgian tourists crashes into the wall of a tunnel in Switzerland, killing at least 28 people, 22 of whom are children.
The bus had been travelling from a skiing holiday camp in Val d'Anniviers to return to Belgium when it smashed into a wall inside a motorway tunnel in Sierre, in the canton of Valais, on Tuesday night.
In addition to the 28 who were killed, including two drivers, another 24 children were reported to have been injured, some seriously. Most of the children were aged around 12, the Belgian foreign ministry said.
Last night, the injured passengers were being treated in hospitals in Lausanne, Bern and other Swiss cities after they were flown there by helicopter, according to police.
Belgian Foreign Minister Didier Reynders has said that the authorities are still trying to identify the victims.
