At least 28 people – including 22 children – have been killed in a coach crash in a tunnel in Switzerland.
Another 24 children were injured in the crash near Sierre, in the canton of Valais, close to the border with Italy.
The coach, carrying 52 people back to the Belgian towns of Lommel and Heverlee following a skiing trip, struck a wall in the tunnel head-on late last night.
Belgian PM Elio Di Rupo said it was “a tragic day for all of Belgium”.
