Police said the incident occurred at Baikunthpur village, under Ramnagar police station, when a school bus carrying over a dozen students from Telpur Devraj village collided with an SUV.
“No serious injuries were reported in the incident. Prima facie, the collision appears to have occurred due to poor visibility caused by thick fog,” said Ramnagar station house officer (SHO) Deepak Kumar.
He said four people, including a student, sustained minor injuries.
Local residents said the impact of the collision was so severe that the front portion of the SUV was badly damaged, triggering panic among students and nearby residents.
The injured were immediately rushed to nearby hospitals, where their condition was stated to be out of danger.
