The reason for running away is still unknown. Teachers from the school and the police are currently at the scene of accident.The government has been trying to improve the safety conditions of students in school environment and during transportation to reduce the number of such accidents. Night travel for pupils, for instance, has been banned. Schools will also be required to paint their school buses yellow.We condole with the family and the students in that school during this traumatizing period.
