Jaipur: Eight students were injured in a school bus accident on the Jodhpur-Jaisalmer National Highway. The bus, belonging to Holy Mission School, collided with a truck near Kui Inda Crusher, close to Balesar town, around 9 a.m.
The crash occurred when the bus, carrying students and staff, had just passed the Kui intersection. A truck coming from the opposite direction suddenly attempted to turn toward a hotel without checking its side mirror, causing the bus driver to lose control and crash into the truck. The impact was so intense that the truck’s oil tank ruptured.
Nearby residents rushed to the scene and helped evacuate the children from the bus. The injured students were taken to Balesar Community Health Center in private vehicles. Two students in critical condition were transferred to Jodhpur for advanced care, while the other six were treated and released after receiving first aid.
Balesar police responded quickly to the incident, and both vehicles were seized. The remaining students were transported to school in another bus. Thankfully, none of the injuries were life-threatening, and an investigation into the cause of the accident is ongoing.
This incident comes shortly after a tragic accident in Nagaur, where three students from National Law University in Jodhpur were killed, and several others were injured when their bus overturned on the Ladnun road.
