At least six people were killed and more than two dozen were injured. Local television reported that the bus driver, his wife and four players for school were killed in the crash. Nine people were seriously injured-- including the team's coach -- while police described 20 others as "walking wounded,", local television reported. The team was travelling to Florida for a game.
