NEW DELHI: At least seven school children and the driver of the van in which they were travelling were injured after a school bus rammed into it in southwest Delhi on Tuesday afternoon, police said.

The van driver is recuperating in the hospital, police said. The accident took place at Basantara Line near Kendriya Vidyalaya. The school bus belonged to St Thomas School in Dwarka and the Eeco van was carrying the children from Kendriya Vidyalaya Number 1.
All children were below seven years of their age. "Both the vehicles had a head-on collision. It is suspected that the bus was moving on the wrong side due to which the accident took place.
