A 6-year-old girl is among 7 people killed in a bus overturn in Mississippi

Mississippi:

Seven people, including a 6-year-old boy 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 took place 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 taken to different hospitals with unknown injuries, the agency said. It added that the co-pilot was not transported.

“Anytime there are people injured or killed, it's tragic, but when there's a situation like this, where there are multiple fatalities and multiple injuries, it's even worse,” Warren County Sheriff Martin Pace told an ABC affiliate.

Huskey said most of the bus passengers were Latin American.
