“The driver is now in police custody for further investigations to be carried out,” the Municipal Chief Executive for Krachi West, Emmanuel Jalula Kajal told Citi News.
Six of the students died on the spot after the incident on Thursday, while the seventh child died at the Krachi West Government Hospital from injuries.
