Four school pupils have been taken to hospital after a school bus overturned and landed in a field in Aberdeenshire.
The double-decker, carrying about 30 pupils from Mearns Academy, crashed near Laurencekirk at about 1600 BST.
It is thought nine pupils suffered minor injuries in the incident on the B9120 St Cyrus to Laurencekirk Road.
Aberdeenshire Council acknowledged there had been concerns expressed by parents about the use of double-deckers on this route.
A statement said: “Assessments had been carried out and arrangements agreed with the bus operator. We will clearly be reviewing these in consultation with the police and bus operator in light of this incident.”
The council also said all seats on the bus were fitted with seatbelts.
