Seven people, including three schoolchildren, were injured after a Tamil Nadu State Transport Corporation (TNSTC) bus overturned, plunging off a hill into a farmland 10 feet below in Attur block on Wednesday (February 12, 2025) morning.
At 8:30 a.m., bus No. 33, driven by Selvaraj, was proceeding from Attur bus stand to Thavalapatti in Paithur panchayat. While navigating the hilly terrain, the bus reportedly experienced a brake failure, causing the driver to lose control of the wheel. Despite his efforts to regain control, the bus rolled backward, overturned, and plunged into the farmland.
The bus was damaged, and seven people — three schoolchildren, a noon meal worker, the driver, and two other passengers — suffered injuries. They were admitted to the Government Hospital in Attur for treatment. The Attur Rural police have registered a case, and further investigation is underway.
