School bus falls into roadside ditch injuring seven students in Manipal

A school bus carrying students fell into a roadside ditch on the Manipal Highway earlier this week, injuring seven children.

The incident occurred as the bus was navigating the narrow stretch of the highway between Manipal and Bhatkal. Preliminary reports suggest the ditch, created by a recent landslip, caught the vehicle, causing it to derail and overturn.

Seven students were taken to nearby hospitals; authorities are conducting an investigation into the cause and assessing road conditions. Police and ambulance crews responded promptly, and the school suspended its classes for the day. Source: Google News – Manipal.
