Boy, 10, killed in coach crash named

A schoolboy killed in a coach crash in Somerset has been named as 10-year-old Oliver Price.

Avon and Somerset Police confirmed on Monday that formal identification had been carried out and his family were being supported by a specially trained officer.

Five people, including two children, remain in hospital following Thursday's accident.

A major incident was declared after a coach carrying Minehead Middle School pupils left the road near Wheddon Cross in Somerset and slid down a 20ft (6m) slope.

Avon and Somerset Police Ch Supt Mark Edgington said the force's thoughts were "first and foremost with Oliver's family at what must be an unimaginably difficult time".

"Our investigation is now well under way with officers working tirelessly to find out what caused it," he added, explaining that this was "likely to take some time".
