Huntingdon, Tennessee AP —A school bus crash in west Tennessee on Friday killed two students and injured at least seven other people, officials said. The crash involving a Tennessee Department of Transportation dump truck, a Chevrolet Trailblazer and the school bus took place at about noon on Highway 70 in Carroll County, said Maj. Travis Plotzer, a spokesperson for the Tennessee Highway Patrol. Plotzer said details of the crash were still being sorted out, but it appeared that the transportation department dump truck did not contribute to the crash itself. The school bus was carrying students and employees from Kenwood Middle School in Clarksville for a field trip to Jackson, Tennessee, the Clarksville-Montgomery County School System said in a statement. Plotzer called the crash “a parent’s worst nightmare.”Officials held a news conference about the crash involving the school bus, a Tennessee Department of Transportation dump truck and a Chevrolet Trailblazer.
