The school van was carrying 18 children, all students of Divine Public School. At least 11 children were killed on the spot after their school van was hit by the Siwan-Gorakhpur passenger train at around 7.10 am today.

Two more children are reported to have died later. The driver of the school van has also died, taking the death toll up to 13.

The railway crossing where the accident took place is said to have been unmanned. The gate mitra (volunteer manning the crossing) deployed there, Arvind Bharati, had tried to stop the accident, but failed.
