NINE children suffered shock yesterday when their school bus was in collision with a car.

The youngsters were travelling to St Augustine's School, in Scarborough, in a double-decker bus, when the accident happened at about 8.55am.

The bus was in collision with a car at the junction of Irton Moor Lane and Racecourse Road and the female car driver was trapped in the wreckage of her vehicle.

She was cut free from her Ford Focus by firefighters and taken to Scarborough General Hospital but was released a little later after treatment.
