Eight adults on the bus were also hurt in the crash on the A3290 slip road onto the Sutton Seeds Roundabout just before 8.30am.

One child and an adult may need to be brought to hospital, according to the South Central Ambulance Service.

A Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service spokesperson said it was initially called to a vehicle fire on the slip road.

It then discovered the scene of the crash and the bus’s engine on fire on arrival.

Fire crews were on scene for around two hours as they extinguished the blaze and gave emergency care.

Drivers are being warned to avoid the area due to travel disruption.

Thames Valley Police has said that the A3290 is currently closed following the crash.

The force states: “We are currently on the scene of a multi-vehicle collision on the A3290 Sutton Seeds roundabout in Earley.

“We are supporting colleagues from @RBFRSofficial and South Central Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust and the road is currently closed.

“There are no serious injuries, but we would urge drivers to please avoid the area while the incident is dealt with.”

There was a separate two-car collision on the same slip road earlier this morning, but nobody was injured, according to South Central Ambulance Service.

It comes after another school bus left a road in Kent and ended up in a ditch, tipping forward.

Emergency services rushed to the scene at 8am to help passengers leave the bus, and there were no reported injuries.

The Stagecoach vehicle was reportedly full of school children when it left the road.

Stagecoach have since confirmed that the incident involving one of their school buses is under review.

Earlier, drivers were warned of delays on roads near the A28 due to the crash.

But traffic has since returned to normal.

Across New Jersey, more than 1,100 wild birds — mostly Canada geese — have been reported dead or dying in just a matter of days. Officials suspect highly pathogenic avian influenza (bird flu), though testing is still underway.  Images of lifeless geese scattered across lakes and fields have prompted precautionary park closures in Gloucester County, including Betty Park and Alcyon Park. Residents are being warned: do not approach sick or dead birds.  Experts say the risk to humans remains low — but the scale of the die-off is raising alarms. Bird flu has already spread to poultry, dairy cattle, and even other mammals in recent years. And history shows that the more the virus circulates, the greater the chance of spillover.
In Hainesport Township, families are waking up to dead geese and ducks scattered across sidewalks, porches, and even school bus stops amid a suspected bird flu outbreak spreading through South Jersey. One mother says her son watched a goose “fall right out of the sky” into their backyard — a moment she calls traumatizing.  State officials report more than 1,100 sick or dead birds statewide in just days, and parks in Gloucester County have already shut down. But in Hainesport, neighbors say they’ve been told disposal is their responsibility — armed with gloves, masks, and trash bags. One resident claims he bagged 18 dead geese in a single day… with dozens more still in his yard.
After analyzing nearly 500 feline tumors across multiple countries, researchers found the same cancer-linked mutations seen in human blood, lung, bone, skin and even breast cancers. One mutation — FBXW7 — appears far more often in cats than in people, but when it shows up in humans, outcomes are worse.  Here’s the twist: common chemotherapy drugs like vincristine may slow those tumors in cats — potentially offering a faster, real-world testing ground for treatments that could later help human patients.
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor — brother of Charles III and once one of the most privileged men in Britain — was arrested this week in a stunning twist tied to the fallout from the Jeffrey Epstein files.  For the first time in nearly 400 years, a British royal has been taken in for questioning. The message from the Palace? “The law must take its course.” No titles. No deference. Just “a man in his sixties from Norfolk” released under investigation.  Across the Atlantic, though, the picture looks very different. While authorities in the UK move forward, critics say accountability in the U.S. still feels out of reach — even after document dumps, public pressure, and years of unanswered questions surrounding Epstein’s powerful circle.
Chaos erupted in the stands — and then something extraordinary happened.  Inside the Dennis M. Lynch Arena in Pawtucket, gunfire shattered a youth hockey game as Robert Dorgan opened fire on his own family. But as panic spread and fans scrambled for cover, a handful of bystanders did the unthinkable — they ran toward the shooter.  Michael Black thought the shots were popping balloons… until he saw the gun. He told his wife to run — then lunged, jamming his hand into the weapon to stop it from firing. Others piled on. A chokehold. A desperate struggle. Blood on the bleachers. Seconds that felt like forever.  Police say those “courageous citizens” likely prevented even more deaths.  Now Black is being called a hero — but he says he doesn’t feel like one.  What drove ordinary spectators to risk everything in that split second… and how much worse could this have been if they hadn’t?
BI00d on the ice. 💔 At the Dennis M. Lynch Arena in Pawtucket, what should have been a routine high school hockey night turned into a nightmare. Authorities say 56-year-old Robert Dorgan opened fire, killing his ex-wife Rhonda Dorgan and their son Aidan before taking his own life — leaving three others critically injured. But this wasn’t random. His daughter, Amanda Wallace-Hubbard, says it was a calculated “vendetta” against their own family. She was in the stands with her young sons when the shots rang out — and says a split-second act of heroism saved their lives. A long trail of family conflict, court battles, and bitter disputes now raises chilling questions about what led to this explosion of violence.
In Minnesota alone, more than 100 refugees were reportedly arrested in recent weeks before a federal judge stepped in to halt detentions and order releases. A broader court fight is looming — one that could reshape how refugees are treated nationwide.  With refugee admissions already slashed and new reviews underway, thousands could be affected.  They came to the U.S. legally, fleeing persecution.  Now many are asking: after surviving everything else… are they about to face detention here?
