A school bus crash in Cottonwood, Minnesota killed four students and left several injured Tuesday afternoon.

Motorists who arrived on the scene quickly gathered injured children and transported them to an area hospital. Avera Marshall Regional Medical Center admitted 11 patients with two remaining in critical condition while two victims of the accident were taken to the Granite Falls Hospital.
