Local media reported how dazed children lay on stretchers at the scene of the crash, near Woodmore Elementary School, waiting for ambulances to take them to hospital. "Certainly speed is being investigated very, very strongly as a factor in this crash," Fletcher said. Police do not have a list of all students who were on the bus, but at least 24 students were taken to area hospitals, Fletcher said. "Heartbreaking school bus crash in Chattanooga," tweeted US Senator Bob Corker of Tennessee. "My thoughts and prayers are with the children, families and first responders."
