Florida Truck Accident Kills Student on School Bus
A Florida student has died in a truck accident after a tractor-trailer rear-ended a school bus in an accident in northern Florida.
A spokesman for the Florida Highway Patrol told reporters that both vehicles caught on fire in the accident Tuesday. About 20 people were aboard the bus, and all the students are believed to have been accounted for.
Six students and both drivers were taken to area hospitals with non-life threatening injuries. The bus was transporting students from North Marion Middle School and North Marion High School.
The cab of the tractor-trailer completely burned, while the back of the bus had some fire damage.
