Three Killed In Bestival Coach Crash
Three people have been killed and a number of others seriously injured when a coach returning from a festival on the Isle of Wight overturned after crashing into a tree near a tunnel in Surrey.
The 51-seat coach was travelling north on the A3 when the crash happened near the Hindhead Tunnel around 23:50 on Monday.
The coach left the carriageway between the tunnel and the Thursley exit and hit a tree.
Three people were declared dead at the scene and injured passengers have been taken to a number of different hospitals.
A fourth person was airlifted to Southampton General Hospital with life-changing injuries, said police.
Inspector Richard Mallett said the vehicle had suffered a "significant impact".
"I understand the road was dry. We cannot see any reason that the road conditions would have had any effect on what occurred," he said.
