Four people remain in hospital after a coach crashed on its way back from a school trip to the zoo.
A major incident was declared on Thursday after the coach carrying Minehead Middle School pupils left the road near Wheddon Cross in Somerset and slid down a 20ft slope.
Avon and Somerset Police previously confirmed a 10-year-old boy had died in the crash.
Earlier, the force said two children remained in hospital in Bristol and two adults were still in hospital in Somerset. It also confirmed the coach involved in the incident was recovered on Saturday.
A police spokesperson said the investigation into the A396 Cutcombe Hill crash was ongoing.
Minehead Middle School, which has pupils aged between nine and 14, was closed on Friday as a stream of people paid their respects and left tributes at the gates.
The school is due to reopen on Monday.
Several fundraisers set up by residents have amassed more than £40,000 to help those affected by the tragedy.
