what a horror! and i imagine the death toll could rise. :(
22 children and six adults killed plus dozens injured after 'speeding' bus crashes in Swiss tunnel as they return home from school ski trip
28, including the 22 children, killed after bus 'veered and hit a curb, then rammed into a concrete wall in the tunnel'
Coach was one of three carrying Belgian schoolchildren home from skiing holiday in Italy
Most of the children killed were aged just 12 years old
Police: 'Tragedy is worst road traffic accident in Swiss history'
Dozens more were injured in the smash, which came as a school party of 52 returned from an Alpine skiing holiday to the villages of Lommel and Heverlee in the Flemish region of Belgium.
Photographs showed the bus rammed up against the side of the tunnel, the front ripped open, broken glass and debris strewn on the road and rescue workers climbing in through side windows.
The cause of the crash has yet not been determined.

Bloodstains can be seen down the side of the wrecked vehicle as it is towed away
