Two people remain in serious condition in hospital after Eastleigh bus crash
Two people remain in a serious condition in hospital after a double decker bus carrying students crashed through railings into the River Itchen in Hampshire. Eight people in total, including the bus driver, were taken to Southampton General Hospital following the incident in Eastleigh yesterday morning (26 June). Four have now been discharged while four remain in hospital. Eyewitnesses described the bus swerving through traffic on Bishopstoke Road before careering off the road. The bus has now been recovered from the river and the road has reopened. Operator Bluestar confirmed there were 19 students from Barton Peveril Sixth Form College on-board at the time of the crash. General Manager, Richard Tyldsley, said: 'Our thoughts are with everybody involved, and we wish those who were injured a full and speedy recovery. 'At this time, we do not know the circumstances behind this incident and are carrying out an immediate investigation. "We are also assisting the police as they carry out their own enquiries.' Hampshire Police have praised members of the public who helped at the scene and led passengers to safety. Inspector Andy Tester also thanked everyone for their patience as they dealt with the incident, alongside the force's emergency services colleagues. Kelly West, whose house backs onto the river, heard a screeching noise and looked out the window and saw the vehicle career off the road. She described the moment as like watching the action movie 'Speed'. Mrs West said she ran to the scene and spoke to the driver who told her that the accelerator was jammed and the brakes failed. An investigation into the cause of the crash is ongoing.

Man sentenced for attempted murder of woman
A man has been sentenced to 27 years in prison for attempted murder after his assault on a woman left her with life-threatening injuries. Paul John Watts, 36, attacked the woman at Cinderford Close in Paulsgrove in Portsmouth last October. The woman has has no memory of the assault and is still recovering from her injuries. Watts, who will also serve an extended license period of five years, was found guilty at Portsmouth Crown Court on Tuesday. Hampshire Constabulary said it was called out shortly after 15:10 GMT on 31 October after concerns were raised for a 37-year-old woman. She was taken to Southampton General Hospital with "serious, potentially life-threatening injuries" and discharged from hospital earlier this year. Police said during sentencing the judge told Watts that he left her bleeding and unconscious, and "left her for dead". In a statement read to the court, her sister said: "She will never be the same again because of what Paul did that day, but with support from family and friends, her and her children will find their new normal. "I have no doubt in my mind about how far she has come, the strength and courage she has shown throughout and that she will continue to progress and will not let what happened that day define her." Senior investigating officer Elizabeth Brunt said: "The victim's injuries in this case were shocking, her recovery has been exceptional given the trauma that she endured. "Thankfully she has no memory of what happened last October. "Watts subjected the victim to violence that nobody should have to face and I'm pleased that this sentence underlines the gravity of what he did."
