Cottonwood MN School Bus Crash Kills 4 Students

A school bus crash in Cottonwood, Minnesota killed 4 students and injured 14 others. The bus, that carried students from kindergarten to 12th grade, was hit by a van around 3:30 pm on Tuesday. The bus then hit a pickup truck and rolled over on its side.

Classes at Lakeview School were cancelled Wednesday. Fire Chief Dale Louwagie said all the community could do is, “Pray.”

 

The bus carried 28 students. Several drivers who witnessed the crash stopped to help. “I parked my car and called 911, and ran to the school bus and the driver was handing kids out the door as fast as I could take them,” said Karen Mahlum.

 

Rescue squad from surrounding cities rushed to the crash site. Some of the students were in critical conditions while others only suffered minor injuries. The victim’s names and ages were not given.
