Nineteen schoolchildren suffered injuries after their bus plunged into a roadside canal near Nannilam in Tiruvarur district on Monday.
The accident occurred when the van was on its way to Sri Lalithambigai Matriculation High School at Poonthottam near Tiruvarur town, carrying children in the 5-10 age group. As it approached Achuthamangalam village, the driver allegedly lost control and the vehicle plunged into Alangudi Vaickal.
Since there was no water in the canal, all students onboard escaped with minor injuries. On being informed, a team of the Nannilam police arrived at the spot, rescued the students and sent them to the Nannilam government hospital for treatment. Two girls have been shifted to a private hospital in Tiruvarur, as they sustained minor fractures on the leg. Police said that brake failure could have been the reason for the accident. A case has been registered and investigations are on.
