A school bus skidded off a road and plunged into a flooded paddy field in Warin Chamrap district of Ubon Ratchathani province this morning (Friday).
Twenty-eight passengers, who are students and Buddhist novices from a school in Muang district, were slightly injured and were taken to a nearby hospital.
On arrival, police found the six-wheel school bus lying on its side in the flooded field. They interviewed the bus driver, identified only as “Komsan”, 39, who said that he was driving through Baan Mai Kang village to pick up students when the accident happened.
Komsan claimed the accident happened due to the narrowness of the road.
