Bus crashes into children and parents killing 11 and injuring 13 (video)
Five children died when a bus crashed into pupils gathered at school gates this morning, September 3.
The children had been getting ready to start classes at a Tai’an City high school in China’s eastern Shandong province.
Sadly, a bus there to carry classmates crashed right into them just before 7am local time.
It killed five students and 11 parents, according to local reports.
Video footage shared on social media shows parents cradling the bloodied bodies of their kids, with some lying l!feless beneath the bus outside Foshan Middle School.
Described as a rental bus customised for transporting students, the vehicle reportedly “lost control” before ploughing into the crowd.
Its driver has been detained while police investigate the cause of the crash, China’s Xinhua news agency reported.
At least 13 people were injured in the collision.
One of those remains in critical condition.
