Earlier on April 13, a school van carrying over 24 children overturned on the Kamalpur road in Bihar's Nawada district, leaving one child dead and several others injured, police said.

The accident took place in the Govindpur area when a van carrying students of Magadh Central School lost control and overturned on the roadside, triggering panic among the children onboard.

According to officials, a 10-year-old girl identified as Aarohi Kumari, a resident of Darshan village, died in the incident.

Residents rushed to the spot immediately after the accident and began rescue efforts before informing the police. Govindpur police later reached the site and brought the situation under control. (ANI)
