The son of the teacher who died in a school coach crash in France has flown over to be with his mother and sister, who remain in hospital.
Max Rippington said he was “delighted to be reunited” with his mother Sharon and sister Amy following the crash which killed his father, Peter.
Alvechurch teacher Peter Rippington died and more than 20 people were hurt in Sunday’s crash near Rheims.
The coach driver has been charged with involuntary manslaughter.
The Foreign Office said most of the 49 British nationals who were on the coach were back in the UK, but seven people remained in hospital in France.
A statement issued by the family said: “Max Rippington, son of Peter, who was so tragically killed in the horrific coach smash on Sunday, and Sharon Rippington, badly injured in the same incident, is delighted to be reunited with his sister Amy and his mum, Sharon.
