In an unfortunate incident a 13-year-old student was left injured by a speeding car at Khandepar, Ponda. A major tragedy was averted as most students and some locals had already boarded the bus. This is the second accident at the same site within a short span.



Locals informed that school got over at 10.30 in the morning and around 250 students were waiting for their bus along the main road. However, a Karnataka registered SUV proceeding towards Khandepar-Usgao hit one of the students, after allegedly not noticing them on the road. The boy suffered injuries and was later shifted to the hospital.

Locals are now blaming the Panchayat and government for not constructing a bus shed at the OPA Junction. Local, Sandeep Parkar said parents are concerned over the student’s lives as four month ago one truck rammed into a hotel at the OPA Junction, nearly destroying the entire structure.
