A 13-year-old student of Marie Poussepin's Academy was crushed to death by a recklessly driven school bus near the school located in the Mhasala area of Koradi police station on Tuesday afternoon.

After crossing nearly 50 metres of distance, the bus hit two motorcycles coming from opposite directions. The motorcycle riders fell on the road. Later, the bus hit a parked school van in which school students were boarding. Samyak was one of them. He came under the wheels of the bus and got crushed. Two other students were also injured in the accident, police said. People standing nearby ran towards the bus to stop. However, the driver failed to control the bus and hit an electric pole on the right side, police said. The live electric wire fell on another school van. There were many school students standing near the van. They also fled the spot to save their life, the official said.
Profusely bleeding Samyak was taken to the hospital where doctors declared him dead. Koradi police rushed to the spot and arrested the bus driver. He reportedly told the police that the bus moved in first gear when he was applying reverse gear. He panicked after the bus hit the motorycles. An offence under provisions of Indian Penal Code and Motor Vehicle Act was registered by Koradi police.
