Reports indicate that the bus's steering malfunctioned, causing the driver to lose control, resulting in the bus veering off the road and plunging about 10 feet into an empty plot of land. The bus, belonging to a private school, crashed around 1 PM.
According to News 24, one student tragically lost their life, and 50 others sustained injuries. Another child is reportedly in critical condition. Onlookers quickly intervened, smashing the bus windows to rescue the trapped children. The Rajasthan police responded to the scene shortly after. Former Kota North councillor Latur Lal, from ward-29, told News 24 that the bus unexpectedly overturned while transporting students home.
