Nine Kids Injured in Alipurduar Pool Car Crash
Nine little kids were going to school in a special car when a big truck hit them.
The car driver tried to avoid the truck but crashed into a pillar.
The kids were hurt, but most of them are okay now.
One kid, Nitik, needs more time to get better.
People in the area say the road has barriers that cause accidents and want them to be removed.
Nine school students aged between four and six years old were injured in a pool car accident in Alipurduar.
The accident occurred when a container truck collided with the pool car on AH48 around 7am.
The pool car driver swerved to avoid a serious impact and crashed into a roadside pillar.
