Mysuru: School students, who were travelling in a van, had a providential escape last evening as their vehicle caught fire. However, all the students escaped unhurt though the damage to the vehicle was severe due to the intensity of fire.
The incident occurred in Bannimantap near Srinivasa Talkies. The Maruti Omni van (KA-20-M-8961) was carrying children from Huda Public School. As the vehicle neared Srinivasa Talkies, Sameer Khan and Isral who were coming from the opposite side observed smoke emanating from the front side of the vehicle.
