SUV driver drives nine children to death

Nine pupils were killed in India when they were hit by a SUV that drove far too fast when crossing a busy road.

The driver of the vehicle fled after the collision. The school is on the national highway 77, where the students died.

The collision with the children followed another incident shortly before, when a truck had hit a woman. The SUV apparently wanted to drive past that accident and then hit the children, who were waiting along the road until they could cross.
