2010-03-31 17:49:38 - Snow Storm - United Kingdom EDIS CODE: SS-20100331-25545-GBR Date & Time: 2010-03-31 17:49:38 [UTC] Area: United Kingdom, England, Staffordshire-wide, Number of death person(s): 1 Damage level: Moderate (Level 2) Not confirmed information! Description: Blizzards have swept through parts of the UK, leaving a teenager on a school trip dead and tens of thousands of homes without power. The Lanark Grammar School coach crashed on the A73 just 12 miles into the trip to Alton Towers, Staffordshire, which was organised as a break from exam studies for sixth-year pupils. Natasha, from Cleghorn, near Lanark, is thought to have been thrown out of the vehicle and become trapped underneath it. Police said the cause of the accident was still under investigation, but given the "horrendous" conditions in the area it was clear snow "had a part to play".
