A tragic incident occurred in Dankaur, Greater Noida, India, where a seven-year-old nursery student was run over by her school bus on Thursday afternoon. The accident happened after the school unexpectedly declared a half day at 11:30 AM. As the bus reached the drop-off point near Roshanpur, the victim got off with other children but moved to the front of the bus instead of the back. When she attempted to cross the road, the driver accelerated, striking her on the driver's side. Instead of stopping, the driver continued on his route, dropping off other children before fleeing the scene. The police were alerted by the other children, and the girl was rushed to the hospital but was pronounced dead on arrival. The driver, a resident of Talda village, was later arrested for rash driving and causing death by negligence. Authorities are also looking into why there was no helper on the bus, as per Uttar Pradesh Transport Department guidelines. The school has denied the absence of a helper but has not provided further clarification.
