Assumptionsuksa School would pay for medical expenses of a three-year-old kindergartener, who was seriously injured after falling off and being run over by the school's van on Thursday in Bangkok's Khlong San district.

Case investigator Pol Lt-Colonel Avudh Udonrat said police had interviewed most witnesses and is waiting for the doctor’s report about the girl’s condition and the treatment, while the van driver, Wutthipong Suwansirisilpa, 46, was released on bail.
Avudh said Assumption-suksa School had testified on Friday that it was a private van hired by parents to give the students a lift and the school only accommodated it by providing a parking lot and supervised it as per the Education Ministry’s regulation. 
The girl, as of press time, was in a critical condition and would remain under close medical surveillance for 3-4 days.
