At least two people were killed and seven more were injured in a school bus crash in Tennessee on Tuesday evening, officials said.

A Meigs County school bus with 22 children on board crashed according to Tennessee Highway Patrol Lt. Bill Miller.

The school bus was driving south when a Service Electric utilities truck lost control and veered into oncoming traffic. A child and bus driver were killed, Miller said.

Seven other children were injured and hospitalized at Children’s Hospital at Erlander in Chattanooga, including one in critical condition, police said.
