A 10th-grade student and another person were killed Monday in a three-vehicle crash that overturned a school bus in Winter Haven, Florida, authorities said.
The crash occurred at about 6:13 a.m. as the bus was taking students to Winter Haven High School. The bus carried 39 people: 37 students, its driver and the driver’s daughter. About 26 students were taken to hospitals, according to the Polk County Sheriff’s Office.
Authorities said the bus was traveling in its lane when an oncoming white Chevrolet Malibu crossed the center line for an unknown reason and struck the bus near its rear wheels. The impact caused the bus to lose traction, cross into oncoming traffic and collide head-on with a silver Jeep before rolling onto its roof.
The student who died was a teenage girl attending Winter Haven High School. The other person killed was an occupant of one of the two other vehicles, authorities said.
Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd called the collision a “horrible crash” and a “terrible, tragic morning.” The Polk County school district said the student’s death was devastating for the school and the wider community.
