The bus was traveling from Baliyali village to Bawani Khera town when it veered off while attempting to give way to an oncoming vehicle. Although the bus tilted to one side and got stuck, it narrowly avoided overturning.

Eyewitnesses quickly rushed to the scene to rescue the students. Reports indicate that while some children sustained minor injuries, others remained unhurt and went on to attend school.

Baliyali village Sarpanch Sachin Sardana attributed the accident to careless driving, noting that the driver failed to negotiate a dangerous curve. He also highlighted the poor condition of the road, stating that complaints had been made to the PWD department about erosion on both sides of this stretch.

Bawani Khera police station SHO Om Prakash confirmed that about 50 children were onboard the bus. He said, “Fortunately, none of the injuries are serious,” adding that some students continued to school, while others returned home.
