Surrey Police said a 21-year-old man who was described as having life-changing injuries had been moved to a specialist unit near his home.

A woman, aged 20, remains in a serious condition in hospital.

Driver Colin Daulby, 63, from Merseyside, Michael Molloy, 18, from Woolton, south Liverpool, and Kerry Lynne Ogden, 23, of Maghull, Liverpool, died when the 52-seater coach crashed between the Hindhead Tunnel and Thursley exit.
