Four children and the driver of a school minibus have been taken to hospital after their vehicle skidded off a minor road and plunged several meters down on to the A37 motorway near Emmen.

The driver apparently lost control of the bus while crossing an icy viaduct over the motorway and went over the edge.
According to Nos tv, minor roads round Emmen were not salted overnight because of a shortage.
The minibus was taking eight children aged nine to 14 to a special school in Emmen. One of the four children is in a serious condition, Nos said.
