School bus accident kills 15 Students in China(RIP)

[Xracer]

BEIJING: Authorities in eastern China said Tuesday 15 primary school children were killed when the bus they were travelling in rolled into a river, in the latest fatal accident involving students.

The crash comes just days after China's cabinet published draft regulations aimed at improving school bus safety after the deaths of 19 children in an overcrowded, nine-seater bus sparked a nationwide outcry.

The latest accident happened in Jiangsu province's Shouxian town after dark on Monday evening, a local Communist Party committee spokesman told AFP.

"The bus rolled over into the river," said the spokesman, who refused to be named. "15 died in this accident, and I don't know how many are in critical condition," he added.

He refused to say how many children were on the bus at the time, but the official Xinhua news agency said the vehicle was carrying 29 students and had a maximum capacity of 52 people, so was not overloaded.

According to Xinhua, the bus fell into the river after trying to avoid a small vehicle, but the exact cause of the accident is still unknown.

RIP. Populations in the countryside are not concentrated enough to justify schools nearby, and not all schools are rich, so they either made do with whatever transports that is offered or have to take the kids to and from schools themselves.

Number of home-tutored children is also decreasing as parents clearly realised that they cannot be competitive to modern education system and institutions.

Think the picture you're using is from the accident early in the year.

Chinese traffic regulations sucks big time as a whole. Plenty of rules, but people don't follow them.
