Mississippi:
Seven people, including a six-year-old child and a 16-year-old boy, were killed when a bus overturned east of Vicksburg, Mississippi, early Saturday, Warren County Coroner Doug Huskey said.
The two young victims were siblings, according to the coroner.
The Mississippi Highway Patrol said the incident happened around 12:40 a.m. on Interstate 20 near Bovina in Warren County when a 2018 Volvo commercial passenger bus traveling westbound left the roadway and overturned.
Thirty-seven passengers were transported to various hospitals with unknown injuries, the agency said. The co-pilot was not transported.
“Any time people are injured or killed it’s tragic, but when you have a situation like this where there are multiple deaths and multiple injuries, it’s even worse,” Warren County Sheriff Martin Pace told an ABC affiliate.
Huskey said most of the bus passengers were Latino.
