7 school children, autorickshaw driver killed in accident in Tamil Nadu

PUDUKOTTAI: Seven school children were crushed to death when an autorickshaw, doubling up as a goods carrier, in which they were travelling, was hit by a private bus in Pudukottai district in central Tamil Nadu at 9.30am on Wednesday. The autorickshaw driver too was killed in the violent collision, police confirmed. Three other students, who suffered serious injuries, have been admitted in the Thanjavur medical college-cum-hospital. Twelve students, between the age group of 12 and 15, were crammed into the autorickshaw when the accident occurred.

The students from Kaikurichi were on their way to Vallathirakottai government higher secondary school, some 20 km from Pudukottai when the gruesome accident occurred. The condition of the three children, who were injured, is said to be critical, according to doctors. Three of the students, who were killed, belong to a family.

Officials said the students had to travel in the goods carrier autorickshaw as there were not enough public transport facilities in the area. Officials said the private autorickshaws did not follow norms prescribed for the school buses and the students hitched on to it in an attempt to reach the school in time. It is common for such vehicles in the area to cram in as many as 12 to 15 students. Such accidents are common in rural Tamil Nadu.
