Necessary. We need to stress that this is a developing situation. We have been told one person was seriously injured, but there are also a number of other injuries. Yunus mulla, thank you for that update live from the m 53 where that bus has overturned. We are getting a number of mps taking to twitter or releasing statements to say, that we find one from the education secretary Gillian Keegan who says i am extremely concerned by reports of a serious crash involving a school bus in merseyside the morning. We are in contact with the local authority to offer support and thank the Emergency Services who are working at the scene. In another statement from angela eagle, the labour mp for wallasey who has got in touch and says her thoughts are in with everyone and thoughts with the Emergency Services who are presently responding to the situation and one other from alison mcgivern, labour mp for wirral south who has also got in touch to say, thinking of everyone involved and desperately hoping for them. Please stay away from the area if you can, and that seems to be the message we are getting from police and Emergency Services, to stay away from that part of the m53 if you can, and a reminder that we are rolling live on the breaking story that a major Emergency Response operation is ongoing on merseyside after a Coach Carrying Schoolchildren overturned on a motorway. Police were called just after eight oclock on the m 53 in the wirral. Our Correspondent Nick Garnet is outside Alder Hey Hospital in liverpool where some of the injured are being taken to. We are being asked not to speculate and the public asked not to speculate and there are Young Children who could be involved here and families who are involved, but what we know . What is the hospital telling us so far . � ,. , what is the hospital telling us so far . ,. , what is the hospital telling us so far . ,. , far . Alder hey hospital is a specialist far . Alder hey hospital is a specialist childrens far . Alder hey hospital is a. Specialist Childrens Hospital far . Alder hey hospital is a specialist Childrens Hospital and can treat a range of injuries. They have been bringing people here since the accident happened and a number are being treated here. Families have also been arriving and hospitals have made special arrangements to help families and liaise with them and keep them in touch with what is happening on the accident and emergency unit is a little bit further round from where i am at the front of the hospital, behind me. And Everything Else in the hospital is running as normal but what they are asking is that if you have, because they are so busy, if you have a child who is slightly ill and you are thinking of possibly bringing them down to accident and emergency, to not do that unless its urgent that they are treated immediately because they have to prioritise as much support and care for those who are injured who might be being treated here. In terms of statements from the hospital they confirm they are treating the number of patients following the incident and we will continue to support and liaise with families directly. Our Emergency Department is currently extremely busy, and as i said, they are asking parents to only bring their children to the department if it is urgent. All other appointments and services at the hospital are running normally. This is a hospital on the outskirts of liverpool, four miles from livable city centre, probably about eight or nine miles from where the accident happened. The closest hospital to happen is arrow park in wirral and a statement from the hospital says the trust is dealing with the incident following the crash and clear plans in place and the trust declared a Major Incident and that has been stood up to manage the situation. The medical director at the University Teaching hospital says our thoughts are with those affected by the event, and we offer support to any casualties and relatives arriving at the hospital. The staff are professionally trained and prepared for such events and have established a Major Incident team to coordinate and manage the Emergency Response. Arrow park is mainly an adult hospital, so the children, the adults, may be, if there are any that have been taken to hospital there are going there and the children who need extra care are being brought to this specialist unit at ten one, but it means this is a busy hospital at The Best Of Times and even busy at the moment, and the message from the Hospital Staff is that if you do not need to bring your child into hospital and especially to the a e department, please dont do so today while they are carrying on treating patients because of what happened earlier this morning. You because of what happened earlier this morning because of what happened earlier this morning. You did give us a bit of an inside. This morning.

These are well put in place plans for such an incident as this. The fact is that this is on the wirral, on the other side of the river mersey where this happened, so the ambulances will have to come through the river mersey itself, underneath, past livable Royal Hospital where more people will have been treated if need be and then brought to this unit Royal Liverpool hospital. This incredibly well known and well thought of Childrens Hospital is here where they will be treated for the injuries, and as i say, they know exactly what they were expecting and they are waiting to help any child who needs to be helped.

I also just want to bring it a tweet from the Merseyside Police commissioner, who has said my thoughts are with everybody affected by this worrying incident and whilst i understand there will be deep concern i would urge people not to speculate online or share any posts that could cause distress. She continues to say Emergency Services are at the scene and we are working safely to remove and treat anybody needing medical support. Please avoid the area if you can. , now lets get more on this breaking story. We are rolling on the major Emergency Response operation on merseyside after a Coach Carrying Schoolchildren overturned on a motorway. Police were called just after eight oclock on the wirral this morning. If you want to carry on following this new story and you cannot watch television and then head to our website, to the bbc news website and we have a live page where we have Correspondence Reporting on all aspects of the story. The latest on there is that alder hey Childrens Hospital are treating a number of patients. It earlier declared a Major Incident. Whilst the number of casualties so far we know has not been made clear. The hospital has confirmed it is treating a number of patients. So lets get a recap on exactly what we know, as details are still coming in and this story still emerging and we are still finding out exactly what has happened and how many people have been injured. Lets cross to our newsroom. Letsjust have been injured. Lets cross to our newsroom. Lets just go through the facts. What we know so far. . We know the facts. What we know so far. . Know that two Grammar Schools have confirmed one of their buses was involved in the incident and we know that 50 people have been assessed at the scene and one female patient has been taken to hospital with major injuries. I do want to bring you a statement that has been released by the North West Ambulance service. They as well have declared a Major Incident like alder hey Childrens Hospital have and they say they have dispatched a large number of resources to the scene including ambulances, advanced paramedics a Hazardous Area Response team and an h ems doctor so what we are seeing is a major response by the Merseyside Community because of how serious this incident is. We are looking at these scenes, they are shocking. You are talking about a bus taking kids to school and thats going to cause a serious amount of concern and given what the hospital has said about the fact they are encouraging parents to only bring children who have immediate and urgent concerns, its clear that they are dealing with a serious incident and we also know that nhs staff at the picket line are going back to work, given the fact that the community is pulling back to work, given the fact that the community is putting together here to help all of those in need. And of course at the heart of this, it is children, pupils who were travelling to school between schools and we are not clear on where they are travelling and what the purpose of the trip was but it was early in the morning and there were dozens of children on board so what exactly are the school is telling us and parents at the moment . Are the school is telling us and parents at the moment . They are sa in parents at the moment . They are saying into parents at the moment . They are saying into statements parents at the moment . They are saying into statements that parents at the moment . They are saying into statements that they l parents at the moment . They are i saying into statements that they are supporting families and students who were involved and they have confirmed that their own students were involved in one of the buses was involved in the crash but its important to also repeat what the Merseyside Police commissioner has said and she insisted and asked people not to speculate on what exactly could have happened and who exactly could have happened and who exactly could have happened and who exactly could be involved until they confirm exactly what numbers are there and the reason is, as you said, children are involved and this could cause a lot of distress, especially when you are looking at a picture of an overturned bus and so many Emergency Services that are responding on the scene. Im many Emergency Services that are responding on the scene. Responding on the scene. Im ust lookin at responding on the scene. Im ust looking at a fi responding on the scene. Im ust looking at a tweet i responding on the scene. Im ust looking at a tweet from i responding on the scene. Im ust looking at a tweet from west h responding on the scene. Im justl looking at a tweet from west Kirby Grammar School who said two hours ago they released this to say they are aware of the situation involving one of our school buses on the motorway earlier today and we are actively gathering details and assisting the affected students and their families. Assisting the affected students and theirfamilies. They assisting the affected students and their families. They continue to say support is available and if you need to talk or seek guidance, contact the School Office and this seems to be a similar message from what hearing not from the schools, but police and mp5 hearing not from the schools, but police and mps in the local area. The local labour mp has said anyone involved or distressed by the incident or who needs any sort of assistance can contact the local Constituency Office because when it comes to an incident like this there are those who are involved in those who are injured orfacing major injuries and as we know that one female patient has had and these are very difficult images for the community to look at, so the impact of that distress, the questions that may arise in people wondering where the people they know are involved and there is a real need to know as well but right now given the seriousness of the potential injuries involved, that is why hospital like alder hey Childrens Hospital is urging parents who are concerned or who have had children that might have been involved in the accident to only bring their children if they require urgent care so they can focus their efforts on the children who need it most. This the children who need it most. As Ou The Children who need it most. As you have been talking we are looking at pictures that have come from a Helicopter Camera and i have to let you know these are not live pictures, these are pictures from earlier on but this is the overturned coach that was carrying schoolchildren from two different schools, and you can see around the coach there is a ladder towards the front of the coach and a number of pieces of Emergency Equipment are dotted around the road and this is quite disturbing, really, disturbing images of the bus would have overturned on a busy fast moving motorway and eyes can see the pictures earlier on from the Helicopter Camera and a fire engine isjust Helicopter Camera and a fire engine is just close to the bus as this huge operation is under way. And just as we are taking a look at these pictures, what we know about how many people have been injured. Have we had any numbers is coming to us yet. We do know one woman has suffered serious injuries. Do we know any more about the Young Children . . Mcrae of the hospital said they are treating a number of patients and are unable to give further details on individual patient so when it comes to how many children were involved in how many were injured, we dont have those numbers and thats why Merseyside Police has asked us not to speculate but we do know that 50 people were assessed at the scene and that one female patient was taken to hospital with major injuries, but of course, given the fact the hospital i said theyre treating a number of patients and theyve asked parents to only bring their child if its an urgent case, its clear its a very serious situation for the hospital and Emergency Services which is why and Emergency Services which is why a Major Incident has been declared. As youre talking we are looking at those pictures and the camera has panned away slightly from the bus, just to show how many vehicles, Emergency Vehicles have attended the scene. Dozens of people involved in this crash after this coach turned on its side this is a huge operation and this motorway has been closed both ways as Emergency Services deal with the situation.
