Cuttack: At least 15 passengers were injured, six of them seriously, when a bus in which they were travelling crashed into the boundary wall of a school near Bhanapur on the outskirts of the city on Thursday afternoon. To avoid a head-on collision with a speeding lorry coming from the opposite direction, the bus driver took a sudden turn towards left. He lost control over the vehicle that dashed against the boundary wall of the primary school.

Fortunately, the school was closed for the day and there was no student on the school campus, police said. The bus and the lorry have been seized and drivers of both the vehicles were arrested, police added
