A bus that got into an accident in Yekaterinburg was carrying schoolchildren from a culinary quest

A passenger bus that collided with a Skoda car in Yekaterinburg was carrying schoolchildren from a culinary quest. Elena, the mother of one of the victims, told Izvestia about this on October 23.

She explained that the trip was planned a month ago. Nine children were accompanied by two parents. Due to the small number of students, it was decided not to book a tour bus and take public transport.

"My daughter hit her head on the seat, she was standing at the end of the bus, and a lot of people fell on her. As a result, my head is spinning, I feel sick, my back and legs hurt. They question concussion. <...> There don't seem to be any leg fractures, but she gets up and can't walk, she takes a couple of steps and it hurts," Elena said.

According to her, one of the escorts was taken to the hospital with fractured ribs. She added that a young girl who was traveling with them had lost several teeth from the impact, and her face and mouth were covered in blood.
