Seven school children who were returning to their homes from their schools lost their lives when their private vehicle collided with a tipper truck in Samana town on Wednesday afternoon. The search for the truck driver is ongoing.
In a heart-wrenching incident, seven school children have lost their lives after a truck laden with sand collided with a private vehicle ferrying the students. Along with the students, the driver, Balwinder Singh, the driver of the Toyota in which the children were travelling, also died on the spot.
According to the police, twelve students of Bhupindra International School were returning from school when the accident occurred. Three students are critically injured and hospitalised. The impact of the accident was such that the JCB machine had to be requisitioned to retrieve the bodies, said Patiala superintendent of police Palwinder Singh Cheema, who rushed to the accident road near Samana road. The truck driver is absconding, he said, adding he would be arrested soon.
