Bhubaneswar, 5 February (H.S.): Ten students were injured when a school van overturned due to excessive speed in Borigumma, Koraput district, on Wednesday.

Thevan was transporting schoolchildren to Borigumma when the driver lost control near Sargiguda, causing the vehicle to skid off the road. Eyewitnesses reported that the van was travelling at high speed, which contributed to the accident. Fortunately, some motorcyclists following the van were able to assist the injured students and quickly transport them to Borigumma Hospital.

The students, all from Borigumma Saraswati Sishu Mandir, received treatment for their injuries. Six of them were later transferred to Koraput District Headquarters Hospital, while the others continue to receive care at Borigumma Hospital.
