The crash occurred around 7 a.m. and there is at least one confirmed dead. First responders are currently on the scene investigating. The department received a call, a 911 call about 7 a.m. this morning. A school bus, Mingo County school bus, involved an accident with a truck on the Kinko Highway around the Mingo Central High School. Deputies arrived on scene a short time later while they were en route. I guess the school bus had turned on its side and the truck had caught fire. The tool truck driver was pronounced dead on the scene. Thankfully, none of the children in the bus suffered any life-threatening injuries and were rushed to the hospital for treatment. Ken confirmed that the driver of the tool truck, he was declared dead at the scene. I think there were seven or eight children on the bus where it flipped on its side. So there were several non-life-threatening injuries to the students that I know of. I'm not sure of the severity of their injuries, but then you have the one fatality where the truck caught fire. Usually we try to, you know, we need to find out what happened and what caused this accident. Reporting for Mountain Top News, I'm Nick Colom.
