Five students and the driver of the school bus that met with an
accident in Assam yesterday have been discharged from the Gelephu
hospital today. The teacher who was taken to the lower Assam hospital
and research centre in Bagaigon is in the Intensive Care Unit.
The bus accident, head-on, with an Indian truck happened yesterday at
around 10 am. The bus was carrying 24 students and a teacher. They
were returning home after attending the YES camp in Gyalpoizhing,
Monggar. They were on the way to Phuentsholing from Samdrup Jongkhar
along with three other buses.
Children in the bus told our reporter, Pema Samdrup, that the driver
in the truck was asleep. They said the truck approaching from the
opposite direction was completely on the wrong side. The driver and the
handy boy of the truck fled the scene.
Meanwhile the three other buses left for their respective destination today.
