7 Dead, 37 Injured After Bus Crashes on Mississippi Interstate

Seven people, including a child, were killed and dozens were seriously injured during a bus crash on a Mississippi highway over the weekend.

The tragic accident happened on Saturday, Aug. 31, just after 12:30 a.m. on I-20 Westbound near the Bovina exit. The 2018 Volvo commercial bus, carrying 47 passengers, experienced a tire blowout. This caused the vehicle to leave the roadway and roll onto its side.

Six people were pronounced dead at the scene, and one reportedly died after being rushed to Merit Health Emergency Room. Among the dead were an 8-year-old boy and a 16-year-old girl.
