What was meant to be a joyful first day of school turned into a nightmare when a school bus carrying 40 children overturned on a narrow rural road this morning.
The impact left the bus lying on its side, windows shattered, and terrified students crying for help. Rescue teams arrived within minutes and immediately began pulling children from the wreckage. Amid the chaos, one child was found in critical condition and rushed to the nearest hospital, fighting for their life. Several others sustained minor injuries.
Witnesses reported seeing parents running toward the crash site, calling out for their children’s names, while firefighters and medics worked urgently with specialized tools to free those trapped.
Authorities are investigating the cause of the accident, with early indications pointing to slick road conditions and possible mechanical failure. Crisis counselors have been sent to the school to support classmates and families affected by the tragedy.
