WINTER HAVEN, Fla. (AP) — A school bus flipped over onto its roof during a multivehicle crash in central Florida on Monday morning, killing two people — including a 10th grade girl — and injuring several others, authorities said.

Nearly 40 people were on the school bus that was headed to Winter Haven High School in Winter Haven when an oncoming car crossed the center line and caused the crash, Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said at a morning news conference.

“It was a horrible crash,” Judd said. It was a terrible tragic morning.
