There are a number of issues with this article which need to be resolved:

• The text closely follows the AP story, to the point that it might be a copyvio: [1]
• The article still claims in the lead that the subsequent legal proceedings were the longest in French history, while no source (that I've seen) makes that claim
• The article gives undue prominence to the mention in the House of Commons. It's only natural that this accident was mentioned in debate and it hardly warrants a mention in the lead.

I'd flagged some of these issues at Template:Did you know nominations/Joigny coach crash as well. I tend to think Hansard shouldn't be used as a source at all; I'd expect anything there that's relevant was picked up and confirmed in subsequent reporting.
