Tragedy Strikes

At least two students are dead and seven others are injured after a school bus crashed in West Tennessee. The bus was carrying 25 students and five adults from Kenwood Middle School to Jackson, Tennessee, for a field trip.

What Happened

The crash involved a school bus, a Chevrolet Trailblazer, and a state Department of Transportation dump truck on Highway 70 in Carroll County. It’s not clear what caused the crash, but officials say the dump truck didn’t contribute to the incident.

Aftermath

Four people were taken to Vanderbilt’s children’s hospital in Nashville and are in stable condition. Nineteen others were evaluated and released from Baptist Memorial Hospital-Carroll County. The school system says it’s contacted all the families of those on the bus and is asking for prayers for the victims.
