They were just an hour into the journey.

There was a vertical wall at the end of a 'run-off' area.

The coach veered over the kerb into the run-off area and hit the vertical wall at 'full speed'.

An unusual event.

Was the driver 'inattentive' and maybe swerved at the last second to turn into the run-off area by mistake?

Recent reports are playing down the earlier claims of excessive speed.
