It was the kindergarten principal who drove the minivan that fell into a roadside pond in rural Jiangxi Province in east China yesterday morning, killing 11 of the 15 children on board, China Central Television reported today.
Zhou Chun'e has operated the Chunlei Kindergarten in Binjiang Town, Guixi City for six years without a license and got the driving license only a year ago, CCTV reported.
Zhou was driving the minivan too fast and lost control when trying to avoid a parked vehicle on the road. The minivan overturned and rolled into a roadside pond around 9am yesterday, the report said.
Three children died at the scene and eight died later in the hospital. Four children are out of danger.
Zhou said the minivan was designed to carry seven people but actually picked up 15 children and one teacher because they were in a hurry to get to school, the report said.
The teacher on the vehicle also survived. Zhou has been detained.
Meanwhile, Binjiang Town government has signed agreements with bereft families, paying each family 480,000 yuan (US$76,900) in compensation, China News Service reported.
