 Two students killed, seven injured in school bus crash in west Tennessee 


 Two students were killed and at least seven others injured Friday when a school bus collided with a Chevrolet Trailblazer and a Tennessee Department of Transportation dump truck on Highway 70 in Carroll County, west Tennessee. Officials said the dump truck did not appear to have contributed to the crash.

The bus, carrying 25 students and five adults from Kenwood Middle School in Clarksville, was on a field trip to Jackson, Tennessee. The cause of the crash is under investigation. Maj. Travis Plotzer of the Tennessee Highway Patrol described the incident as “a parent's worst nightmare.” Four victims were airlifted to Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital in Nashville and were reported in stable condition, while 19 others were taken to Baptist Memorial Hospital-Carroll County for evaluation and released. The full extent of injuries among those involved has not been confirmed.
