People on board the Skibound coach that crashed last month have hired a firm of lawyers to seek compensation. The driver died in the accident on the road down from Alpe d’Huez. They were all resort workers coming back from a witner in the Alps.
It is believed the brakes on the vehicle failed and the driver deliberately crashed into the mountainside to prevent it going over the edge.
It burst into flames and people escaped through the broken windows.
29 of the 52 passenegers were taken to hospital. Three have serious injuries.
We reported on the crash at the time here on PlanetSKI.
Some of the people have now appointed the lawyers Irwin Mitchell to represent them.
