PLUCKY passengers are continuing with their holidays after being involved in a collision between a coach and a bus.

The crash between a Canterbury-based coach, owned by Lehane Travel, and another tour bus left debris all over the road and the back of one of the coaches was torn off.

But incredibly, although the Lehane coach was packed with passengers, no one was seriously hurt.

The driver, from Thanet, was treated for a knee injury and is now recovering at home after the accident on the A11 at Barton Mills in the Mildenhall area of Suffolk on Monday afternoon.

Two passengers were injured by flying glass but opted to continue with their tour of Norfolk on a replacement vehicle.

A spokesman for the company said: "The main thing is that no one was hurt and that is what we are concentrating on."
