School bus and train crash kills 18 children

At least 18 children were killed along with their driver when a school bus was hit by a train in the Indian state of Telangana, police said.

The passenger train rammed into the school bus, dragging it several hundred metres down the track, reports said.
Nineteen other students who were travelling on the bus were injured. No one on the train was hurt.

The accident happened at an unmanned level crossing near Masaipet village in Medak district.
There is a high probability that this was the bus driver's fault, unless the bus broke down on the tracks. Too many deaths caused by irresponsibility.
