\u201cSeven students who were picked to Jenda Health Centre have been treated as outpatients whilst one has been referred to Mzuzu Central Hospital.<\/p>\n

\u201cA good number of students are in the surgical ward with various degrees of injuries, but largely considered minor,\u201d said Simwaka.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Malawi Police Service has said it is going to charge and prosecute the driver of the bus involved in the accident once he has been discharged from the hospital.<\/p>\n

National Police Spokesperson, Senior Superintendent Peter Kalaya said preliminary investigations indicate that the driver of the bus, Duncan Ngwende lost control of the bus due to speeding.<\/p>\n

The Scania Iriza Bus, registration number SA 10038 belongs to Paniche Logistics and was carrying Marymount Girls Secondary School students from Lilongwe to Mzuzu.<\/p>\n
