The pupils, who attend {{w|Alvechurch Church of England Middle School}} in {{w|Worcestershire}}, {{w|[[England}}]], were returning to the UK from a trip to {{w|Aosta Valley}}, a well-known skiing area in {{w|[[Italy}}]].

According to {{w|BBC News}} reporter Hugh Schofield, the vehicle "veered into the ditch at the side of the road and it was a very serious accident."
