Bus crashes into students in China, ******** 11

A bus has crashed into a group of students and their parents at a school in eastern China, ******** 11 people and injuring 13.

The students and parents were at the gate of a middle school in ****’an city in the eastern province of Shandong just before 7:30am on Tuesday, the Dongping county police department said in a posting on social media.

Six parents and five students were *******, it said.

One of the injured was in serious condition while the others were listed as stable, the department said.

The driver was in police custody and the incident was under investigation.

The bus was specially customised for transporting students, it said.

It did not say who was responsible for operating the bus. Many schools contract out such services to private companies or individuals.

School safety, including overloaded school buses and poorly designed buildings, has long been a problem in China.

In 2017, a dozen people, including 11 kindergarten pupils, were ******* when a school bus crashed and burst into flames in a tunnel in the eastern ******** city of Weihai, also in Shandong province.

The driver, six ******** children and five South Korean children were *******. It ******** unclear whether the ****** was deliberate or the result of unsafe driving.

China has cracked down heavily on transportation dangers, adding training and vehicle inspections.

China also has suffered numerous cases in recent years of attacks on school children, often using knives or homemade explosives.

The suspects were generally found to be bearing grudges and seeking revenge over personal matters or against society more generally.
