A major accident was narrowly averted in Rishikesh after the brakes of a school bus carrying 27 children from Firozabad, Uttar Pradesh, reportedly failed. The bus lost control and crashed into a wall, leaving a portion of the vehicle dangerously suspended in the air.

The incident triggered panic among the children and accompanying staff. The bus was on a trip from Firozabad when the driver reportedly lost control following the brake failure. The vehicle struck a wall, preventing it from moving further and potentially averting a more serious accident.

All 27 Children Safe

The children had a narrow escape in the incident. According to the available information, all 27 students survived without serious injury. Rescue efforts and immediate assistance helped ensure their safety.

The incident has once again raised concerns over the mechanical fitness of school buses, particularly those used for long-distance educational trips. Proper vehicle inspections, functioning brakes and strict safety checks are essential to prevent such incidents and protect children during travel.
