Six children were among 16 British holidaymakers injured in a car crash in the French alps on February 19. Local authorities say the accident was between a minibus and a 4×4 just outside the town of Albertvialle. Two adults were seriously injured.
The minibus was en route to Geneva airport carrying 11 people travelling home during the busy half-term skiing season.
The Times reported that officials said the 4×4 was travelling from the airport to Peisey-Vallandry in the La Plagne and Les Arcs resort areas when the accident occurred.
In a statement, a police spokesman said: “One of the vehicles clearly left its side of the road, but we don’t know which one yet.”

The police confirmed neither driver had been drinking or taking drugs.
Around 30 firefighters attended the scene of the accident with the injured being taken by road and by air to local hospitals in Chambery, Albertville, and Grenoble.
