The driver of the coach that crashed in northern Spain on Monday has been arrested. Police suspect him of extremely careless driving, the Dutch consul in Spain reports.
The coach was carrying a group of Dutch pupils on a school trip to Barcelona. A 15-year-old girl was killed and 19 others injured when the coach crashed and rolled over. Police are investigating whether the driver fell asleep at the wheel. He has said he swerved to avoid "something" crossing the road.
The Dutch consul says six of the bus passengers are still in hospital, but none have severe injuries. The first of the Dutch pupils are returning to the Netherlands by air on Tuesday afternoon.
