Gurugram Aug 21 (IANS) Around 30 students of DPS, Sushant Lok, had a narrow escape when their school bus was hit by a dumper in the sector 72 area, here.
According to eyewitnesses, the bus driver was taking a U-turn near Tata Primanti Housing Society around 2.30 p.m. and the dumper hit it while trying to overtake, shattering windshields of the bus.
Thomas, school transport manager, said, "The driver had stopped the bus some 10 meters to de-board three students. It was moving very slowly. After the accident, the errant dumper driver left the dumfer on the spot and fled."
