ALL 21 passengers on a bus travelling from Mullingar to Knock shrine for an all night vigil last Friday were treated at the Mayo General Hospital in Castlebar after the private bus on which they were travelling turned over on the road three miles outside Knock.

Three patients were still being detained at the hospital last night.

One patient has been transferred to Merlin Park Hospital in Galway and another has been sent to Beaumont Hospital in Dublin.

A Garda spokesman in Swinford said no other vehicle had been involved in the crash which occurred at 11.15 p.m. during wet weather on a slippery road surface.
