A Nandyal-bound school bus carrying several students today collided head-on with a truck on the Kurnool-Nandyal highway and overturned, critically injuring six students.
As per the local police, the bus, which belonged to Guru Raj School, was travelling in the wee hours of October 20 towards the school in Nandyal when a truck, allegedly driven by a drunken man, speeded up and rammed into the bus, grievously injuring six children and the driver. The incident occurred near a medical college.
The cops rushed to the scene and carried all the students and the driver to a nearby hospital in Nandyal where they are still receiving treatment. The children and the driver are reportedly out of danger, but still serious.
