A rollover crash involving a bus carrying farm workers in Florida left eight people dead and over 40 others injured Tuesday morning, officials said.
The crash happened around 6:30 a.m. on West Highway 40 near Ocala in Marion County.
Florida Highway Patrol officials said the crash involved a 2010 International Bus transporting 53 farm workers and a 2001 Ford Ranger truck.
Marion County Fire Rescue officials said eight people were killed, and another eight were critically injured. The driver of the Ford pickup was also transported to the hospital with serious injuries, FHP said. Riordan said some of the hospitalized are “in very serious condition” and there’s a “high probability” the death count could rise.
