Thirty Boys of St. Michael's School, Ingoldisthorpe had a miraculous escape on Tuesday when the school's Double-Decker bus, in which they were returning from a week's holiday in London, plunged off the Brandon road a mile from Methwold and overturned.
Despite the impact of the accident, there was only one casualty. He was a youngster who sustained minor cuts. The other boys, whose ages ranged from 10 to 18, emerged unscathed.
A telegraph pole was hit by the bus before the vehicle went over, and this was probably the one factor which saved the boys from being injured. The telegraph pole checked the bus as it overturned, even so, windows were smashed and sections of the roof were buckled.
The bus - a familiar sight to many West Norfolk folk - was being driven by the Headmaster of St. Michael's, the Rev. R P Pott, who lives at Heacham Vicarage. It has been running for the school for two years.
The passengers went back to St Michael's in a hired coach and the damaged vehicle was towed out of the field into which it had overturned".
