There's been a coach crash at the Limpley Stoke viaduct just south of Bath on the A36 and the road is closed. Definitely avoid the area if you can. Reports that the A&E dept at the RUH in Bath is also closed to general admissions to handle the injured.

Not a normal bus - it's a tour bus for a band.

Seems astonishing to be able to do that. Where exactly did it go off the road?

Opposite the bottom of Brassknocker hill - i.e. it ran straight across the A36
