A school bus crash in west Tennessee on Friday killed two students and injured at least seven other people, officials said.<\/p>\n

\"Deadly<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Plotzer said there were a total of 25 students and five adults on the bus. 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. The cause of the crash was under investigation.<\/p>\n

Plotzer announced the deaths of two students in the crash during a news conference. Officials said at least seven other people were taken by air ambulance to hospitals in Tennessee. The nature of their injures was not immediately disclosed. Plotzer called the crash \u201ca parent\u2019s worst nightmare.\u201d<\/p>\n

The school\u2019s principal, Karen Miller, said counselors will be available starting Monday. In a written message to families shared on Facebook, she called the crash an unimaginable tragedy and encouraged parents to be attentive to their child\u2019s emotional needs as they process the deaths of their classmates.<\/p>\n

\"WSMV\"<\/p>\n

\u201cPlease continue to pray with us for our students, families, faculty, and staff,\u201d Miller wrote. \u201cI am grateful for the strength of our Kenwood community, and I trust we will all support each other during this difficult time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Four people were taken to Monroe Carell Jr. Children\u2019s Hospital at Vanderbilt in Nashville and were in stable condition Friday, according to a Vanderbilt Health spokesperson.<\/p>\n

Another 19 people were taken to Baptist Memorial Hospital-Carroll County, said Kim Alexander, a spokesperson for Baptist Memorial Health Care. All were evaluated and released, though it was unclear how many actually were injured, she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
