Six Dead, 18 Injured in Ohio School Bus Crash

NTSB Investigating Chain-Reaction Crash Involving Students En Route to State Conference

Six people were killed and 18 injured in a chain-reaction crash involving a charter bus carrying high school students, an SUV, and a semitruck on Interstate 70 in Ohio.
The bus was transporting students and chaperones from the Tuscarawas Valley Local School District to an Ohio School Boards Association conference in Columbus, which was subsequently canceled.
Three passengers on the bus and three people in one of the passenger vehicles, a teacher and two chaperones, were pronounced dead at the scene.
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is investigating the crash, with conflicting information about the sequence of events leading to the accident.
This is the second recent fatal crash in the U.S. involving high school students on a charter bus, prompting Ohio's Governor to convene a School Bus Safety Working Group.
