A woman in her thirties and a young child have sustained life-threatening injuries in a collision with a school bus in Mullion this morning.

The Police have shared more information about the incident, as well as appealing for witnesses and information.

Multiple agencies, including police and the coastguard, were dispatched to Meaver Road in Mullion at approximately 8:40 AM this morning following a collision between a silver Vauxhall Astra and a double-decker school bus.

As a result of the collision, the two occupants of the Vauxhall – a female in her thirties and a young male child – sustained life-threatening injuries. Both are being treated in hospital, and their next of kin are aware.

Four children who were on the school bus at the time sustained minor injuries and have received treatment.

A spokesperson for Devon and Cornwall Police said: “Officers from the Roads Policing Team would like to thank the public for their patience whilst investigations took place today.

We are working closely with the school to make sure that suitable support is in place for the children involved.
