“ IPSS Medical Rescue said the accident left many children injured.
“Four patients were transported to facilities under the care of IPSS Medical advanced life support, and two under the care of IPSS Medical medics.
“A seventh patient was transported by another service, and the remaining nine patients were taken privately. Fortunately no critical injuries were reported.”
IPSS Medical Rescue praised two women who stopped to calm and comfort the children until emergency services and parents arrived.
