Kolkata/East Midnapore, Sept 20 (IBNS): A fourth standard student was killed and 15 others were seriously injured when a school bus collided head-on with a speeding truck in Contai (Kanthi) in West Bengal's East Midnapore district on Tuesday morning, reports said.

According to reports, a Digha bound truck suddenly lost control and crashed into a private school's bus on National Highway 116-B near Chhatradhara area.

School bus's driver and helper and 14 students were injured in the mishap and rushed to Contai Sub-Divisional Hospital, where one class-IV kid- Tulona Bera- was declared dead.
