Child killed, 4 others seriously hurt after school bus crash on the I-40 in Eastern Arizona - Arizona's Family

SANDERS, AZ (3TV/CBS 5) -- A child has died after a school bus carrying 19 people inside was rear-ended by a semi-truck on the I-40 in Eastern Arizona on Sunday morning, according to the Arizona Department of Public Safety.

Troopers responded to a crash on the eastbound lanes of I-40 around 9 a.m. at milepost 328, not far from Sanders, a community about 55 miles east of the town of Holbrook. Investigators say traffic had slowed in the area after a rollover crash that morning. The school bus was reportedly slowing down when it was rear-ended by a semi-truck and as a result, the bus was pushed into the van, causing a three-car pile-up.

DPS officials say 19 people were inside the bus at the time of the crash. One of those inside, who police confirmed was a minor, died. Four other people inside the bus sustained serious injuries. It’s unclear if they were adults or children. No one else was seriously hurt. Arizona’s Family is working to learn where the bus originated from.

Drivers headed eastbound are being diverted through SR-180 to St. Johns and the US 191 up to the I-40. Westbound traffic is open at this time. For the latest traffic conditions, click/tap here.
