"The bus driver got pushed too far over and we went into a ditch and just fell over."
First Buses were still providing services to the Dorchester college today, but were only using single-decker buses.
Principle of Kingston Maurward College, Clare Davison said: "We would like to say a huge thank you to the emergency services who have been outstanding in their help and support to our students during what has undoubtedly been a very traumatic experience.
"We are also very proud of the way our students reacted during the incident as the police have told me that they remained as calm as possible.
"We are talking to First Buses and working closely with the police to understand how this occurred."
