THE grieving parents of a woman killed in a crash on the A41 on Saturday said they were numb at their loss.

Jennifer Holden, 25, was killed when her black Vauxhall Corsa collided with a Shearings coach.

The crash happened at around 8.20am on the A41 New Chester Road, in Eastham, Wirral.

It is thought the Corsa hit the coach which was travelling in the opposite direction.

Firefighters were called to the scene and helped police free Miss Holden out of the wreckage.

The driver of the coach and two passengers were taken to hospital with minor injuries.

The road remained closed in both directions between Bridle Road and the junction with the B5132 Eastham Village Junction, as debris was cleared and the scene was made safe.

Miss Holden worked at a childrens home in Noctorum.
