One of the two teenagers who died in a coach crash in Cumbria was killed on her 16th birthday, it emerged today.
Chloe Walker, from Frizington, and Kieran Goulding, 15, from Whitehaven, died when the school coach in which they were travelling home from school collided with a car, whose 68-year-old driver was also killed.
As students and staff gathered in shock at Keswick high school today, it emerged that it was the second tragedy for Chloe Walker's family. Her 15-year-old brother Jordan died of a degenerative illness in 2007. They were the family's only children.
Special assemblies were organised at the school as exams took place today, and counsellors were drafted in to provide additional support.
The school coach with 49 students on board was in collision with a Honda Civic car on the A66 between Keswick and Cockermouth at 3.45pm yesterday. Link
