A mini-bus with 11 school children did today crash into a still standing E39 (?).
The BMW was waiting for making a left turn on a highway.
Both the couple in the BMW and the bus driver where badly hurt.
The children used seatbelts and are pretty much OK.

Glad to hear the kids are ok. That E39 took a big hit from behind.
I read today in the newspapers that the minibus did not brake at all!?
