Police Continue Investigation <\/h3>\n

\"\"\/<\/p>\n


\nWest Midlands Police is continuing their investigation into the death of two people after a double decker bus collided with a Coventry supermarket. <\/p>\n


\nAn eight-year-old boy from Leamington, who was travelling on the top of the bus, died at the scene as a result of his injuries. A woman from Nuneaton, believed to be in her 70s who was a pedestrian in Trinity Street, also died at the scene. Specialist officers continue to support the families at this time.<\/p>\n


\nThe collision occurred at 6pm on Saturday evening after the bus travelled along Hale Street colliding with a number of stationary cars and a lamppost before crashing into Sainsbury\u2019s supermarket.<\/p>\n


\nSix other people suffered injuries and received hospital treatment, two remain in hospital – one of whom is in a critical but stable condition. One further person was treated and discharged at the scene.<\/p>\n


\nA number of roads were closed over Saturday night whilst enquiries were undertaken to establish the circumstances around the collision. These have all now re-opened.<\/p>\n


\nSuperintendent Paul Keasey, head of the Central Motorway Police Group, said: \u201cOur thoughts are with those affected by this tragic event; we have specially trained officers with the families at this difficult time.<\/p>\n


\n\u201cWe hope to carry out a swift investigation and I would like to thank people who have already come forward who witnessed the collision.<\/p>\n


\n\u201cThis is a busy area of Coventry city centre and we hope to keep disruption to a minimum as our investigation continues; no-one has been arrested at this stage. \n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
