Lichfield’s MP says he is “heartbroken” after hearing the news of [a Barton schoolgirl’s death in a minibus crash](//lichfieldlive.co.uk/2017/07/07/schoolgirl-from-john-taylor-high-school-dies-after-minibus-is-involved-in-crash-with-a-bin-lorry/).

The 14-year-old was on a school art trip when the vehicle was involved in a crash with a bin lorry at 9am this morning (July 7).

Twenty other pupils and three teachers were also onboard, with one student taken to hospital with “superficial” injuries.
