The children, all of primary school-age, were only beginning their travel to school on the 25-seater shuttle bus, when they crashed into a guardrail, not far from the housing estate.
Many of them sustained injuries, while a 7 and 8 year-old had to have a limb each, amputated.
The petition among others call for security/safety controls and protocols to be in place including induction for drivers operating school transport, immediate support and care for affected families and future plans for the children with permanent injuries.
