A busload of schoolchildren have escaped serious injury in a crash in Co Armagh.
They were making their way home from St Paul's High School in Bessbrook when the incident happened.
SDLP MLA Justin McNulty said up to 40 children were on the bus on the Tullyah Road around 3.30pm.
It is a side road off the main Newry to Newtownhamilton Road near the village of Belleeks.
It's understood the children were heading home to the village of Whitecross.
Principal of St Paul's High School Dáithí Murray had contacted parents and had confirmed that the children involved were safe and had been collected, according to the BBC.
Mr McNulty said his thoughts were with everyone involved in what must have been a "hugely traumatic incident".
He said he was thankful that the children had apparently been able to walk away with only minor injuries.
A number of ambulances were sent to the scene.
Mr McNulty said he had little doubt that but for the "grace of god" it could have been a much different story.
Police have asked the public to avoid the area and said an update would be provided in due course.
Pictures from the scene showed the bus had tipped into a ditch at an angle of 45 degrees.
In a statement, the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service said it had sent significant resources to the incident.
"The Northern Ireland Ambulance Service attended a significant incident, involving a bus, on Tullyah Road today.
"The call was received at 3.38pm and NIAS despatched five ambulances, two advanced paramedics, one officer and an ambulance doctor to the incident.
"Following assessment and initial treatment, it was not necessary to transport any patients to hospital."
