1 reportedly killed after bus collides with truck

One person was killed and several others injured Wednesday when a school bus collided with a tractor-trailer near Rockford in western Pennsylvania, WPXI-TV reported.

Pennsylvania State Troopers did not have details about the crash but The Daily American reported on its website that the bus and the truck collided around 2:45 p.m. Wednesday.

Rhonda Hoover, secretary to the superintendent of the Turkeyfoot Area School District, said there were students on the bus but she did not know how many. She said they had been taken to Somerset Hospital after the accident, which occurred on Route 281.

Twenty-two students who were not injured in the accident were taken from the accident scene to another bus, WPXI-TV reported.

Hoover said superintendent Darlene Pritt had gone to the scene of the accident.

It was not immediately known if the fatality was from a passenger on the bus or the truck.
