Paris - A judicial review is underway in France after one Scottish schoolboy was killed and four other people were seriously injured yesterday when the coach they were travelling in crashed and overturned on a motorway near the town of Vierzon, about 100 miles south of Paris.
The teenager who died was named as Craig Norsworthy (15), from Edinburgh. He was a member of the 41st Edinburgh Boys' Brigade. The Brigade was travelling through France with children from Chadwell Heath Foundation School, in Romford, Essex, when the crash happened at about 6.20 a.m. on the A71 autoroute. The eight adults and 40 schoolchildren on the coach were on their way to a school adventure holiday in Brive-la-Gaillarde in the Dordogne. Initial reports suggested the coach driver had fallen asleep at the wheel.
