  "summary": "A coach carrying German high-school students crashed in the east of the Netherlands early on Monday. The coach, which had more than 50 people on board, mostly teenage pupils, collided with a van at around 4.15am near Wezep in Gelderland.\n\nThe impact caused the coach to overturn and land on its side, and the van was torn in two. Eight people were taken to hospital, with some reportedly seriously injured, according to DutchNews. The driver of the van was among those hospitalised.\n\nThe A28 motorway was closed in both directions until the evening rush hour due to the crash. Traffic was diverted via other routes, causing delays that were expected to last past rush hour. The cause of the crash is not yet known, and police forensic investigators are examining the site.",
