Four children were among five persons killed when a bus collided with a school van in Madhya Pradesh's Satna district on Thursday morning, police said.
Dozens of other people on board the van were in a state of panic, Satna police chief Santosh Gaur said, confirming that the van driver was also among the dead.
The personnel dispatched to Birsinghpur village by the Police Control Room arrived at a scene of screaming and crying children after the head-on collision left four more students in a serious condition.
All the injured were rushed to the district hospital, Gaur added.
