The bus (Lu 1 Kha 6352), which was heading toward Kakadvitta from Bhairahawa, hit a truck (Na 4 Kha 1619) that was parked on roadside. “The bus hit a truck that wasn´t blocking the road, which means that the driver must have fallen asleep while driving,” said SP Sushil Kumar Bhandari, Chief of Eastern Regional Traffic Police Office, Itahari. The bus driver Dhan Nath Kandel has been arrested.



Meanwhile, a student died after being hit by a school bus in Bardibas of Mahottari district. Dinesh Sah, an eleventh grader, was hit by the bus (Ja 1 Kha 536) belonging to Atlas Point English School, Ramgopalpur. The 18-year-old died while being rushed to Janakpur for treatment. Locals, enraged by the accident, ransacked the bus.
