At around midnight on 20 January, a bus full of Hungarian students suffered an accident near Verona, Italy, leaving thirteen dead and twenty-six injured. Most of the passengers were from Budapest’s Szinyei Merse Pál Secondary School, including students, former alumni, teachers and the family of one of the teachers. The remains of the victims were returned home on Saturday.

Two of the four injured passengers who have been transferred to Budapest’s Honvéd Hospital so far have since been allowed home.
