Just found this on the BBC/lancashire news site Tinkerbell:

Motorist dies in school bus crash
A man has died and four children have been taken to hospital after a school bus crashed head on with a car.
It happened on Haslingden Old Road, Oswaldtwistle, on Thursday afternoon as the children, from Rhyddings High School, were going home.

The driver of the Peugeot 106 car died in hospital.

The children, who were travelling on a Blackburn Transport Bus, have "very minor injuries", police said. The bus driver was also taken to hospital.

Police said he had suffered serious injuries.

Some of the schoolchildren were initially treated at a local pub.

The road was closed while police investigated the collision
