BBC Travel News were mentioning this but, I didn't realise just what it was.

It doesn't look like it's rolled over.

No, there is another report which stresses that the coach did not roll over.

BBC now saying "rolls off the road" and another saying it fell onto its side (though no photographic evidence or sign of recovery vehicle).

The reporting seems totally inaccurate with one reporter saying they had to cut the side off the bus to extract the passengers. I don't see evidence of that in the various photographs.

One of the luggage locker "doors" is open. Perhaps that is enough to confuse a "reporter" in to thinking that the side had been CUT open?
