The boy was flown to the Royal Victoria Infirmary (RVI) in Newcastle after the crash in Stanley, County Durham.

A spokesman for the Great North Air Ambulance Service said: "The doctor-led trauma team triaged the injured persons and a 12-year-old child was flown to the Royal Victoria Infirmary with serious facial injuries."

Two adults and 50 children, aged 11 to 18, were on board the buses at the time of the accident.
