Hagley school bus crash: 30 years on

Available for over a year

Remembering a tragic day in 1993 when twelve school children didn't come back from a trip. A minibus from Hagley Catholic High School crashed on the M40, near Warwick, killing twelve pupils and a teacher, and only two children survived the horror. At the inquests it emerged that the teacher who died - Eleanor Fry - had worked all day, and then drove all evening, the minibus crashed into the back of a motorway maintenance vehicle parked on the hard shoulder. Our reporter Tom Edwards went to meet the parents Steve and Liz Fitzgerald, whose daughter Claire was 13 and died in the crash, at her grave in Worcestershire.
