Double decker bus has fallen off a bridge in Alton just outside Alton Towers. 1 man has died, and 40+ have been injured in the incident.

Sky News seemingly ahead on this one now - live on the scene with correspondent Lisa Dowd, speaking to the authorities and eyewitnesses. BBC News had the first picture, but have now gone to entertainment news.

Sorry but I don't think this incident is 'major enough' to warrant its own thread, compared to other specific (breaking) news related topics. Feel free to discuss the coverage on the relevant channel thread, or perhaps in a thread on Metropol.
