Story

Twenty-one women were injured in a fatal collision between their mini-bus and a goods lorry on the M62 Westbound on the morning of Friday 26th April, 2013 soon after heading off from South Elmsall. The mini-bus rolled down an embankment onto a slip-road and ended up on its side.

Sadly, Bethany Jones 18 was killed in the accident. The trip was intended to be a hen party in Liverpool to celebrate the wedding of bride-to-be Stefanie Firth. Unfortunately the journey ended in tragedy.

Six air ambulances were called to the scene, close to Junction 32, and four took casualties to nearby hospitals.

The devastated fiancee of hen party bus crash victim Stefanie Firth is holding a vigil at her hospital bedside amid fears she may never walk again, while his mother Lesley remains critically injured.

Miss Firth, 24, is still fighting for life after suffering a ruptured a spleen and horrific spinal injuries in the M62 crash which killed her friend, 18-year-old Beth Jones, and injured 21 people.

Fiancee Gary Leafe's mother, Lesley, 56, is also in intensive care and was one of eight people to suffer critical injuries in the accident.
