More than 30 schoolchildren were injured, two of them seriously, when a school bus was involved in a crash with a tractor, police have said.

Humberside Police said officers were called to the collision on the A1035, on Leas Lane near Seaton, at about 15:30 GMT on Wednesday.

A girl and a boy, both 15 years old, were taken to hospital with serious injuries, while 29 passengers, aged between 11 and 16, suffered minor injuries, the force said.

A spokesperson for bus operator Ellie Rose said about 40 children were on the double-decker bus which was travelling from Hornsea School and Language College.

Police said investigations were continuing and asked anyone with any information, dashcam or doorbell footage to get in touch.
