School van carrying 20 children overturns in UP's Raebareli, 8 critically injured

At least eight children were injured after a school van carrying around 20 students overturned on Friday morning on the Harchandpur–Maharajganj Road in Raebareli. The accident occurred at approximately 8:30 am within the Harchandpur police station area, about one kilometre before the school near Ahiran Ka Purwa village.

According to eyewitnesses, the van was moving at a normal speed when a speeding DCM truck approached from the opposite direction. In an attempt to avoid a collision, the driver suddenly applied brakes and steered the vehicle towards the side of the road. During the maneuver, the van lost balance and overturned on the roadside, leaving several children injured.

On receiving information, Sub-Inspector Prashant of Harchandpur police station reached the spot with a police team. With the assistance of local residents, the children were rescued from the overturned vehicle and rushed to the Harchandpur Community Health Centre, where doctors provided primary treatment.
