In (i think) 1983 a coach crashed on the M5 near birmingham. Im searching for any details of it on the 'net, but im not having any luck. Could anyone with better searching skills than me dig up anything on it?

Have you tried contacting the Birmingham Post or the Express and Star to search their archives?

May seem like a silly question but why are you after the information?

I was in it. Seems silly i know, but im kind of curious about it. I was only 4 at the time, but have a memories of it to this day.
After looking at everyones post again i dont think it is the right one, there werent that many kids on it.
I'll try the papers and see if that throws anything up. Thumbs Up

Police should have the report about what happened if there was an injury/fatality. Not sure if they will just give them to you though.

Go to a library near where it happened and dig out the old papers and microfiche from the day/s. Ask nicely and they'll help you.
