Amid chaos, local residents admitted 11 children and the driver to the local hospital," said Poonam Mishra, a police officer. The police reported that Saddam, the truck's driver, had been taken into custody and that the vehicle had become immobile due to low gas. The injured youngsters, who were all in the age range of 10 to 12, were scheduled to take the Class 6 exam in Delhi at Jamia. Driver Anas and his two children, Unesh and Azam, are deceased.
