"Multiple children are dead and at least 23 have been taken to the hospital after a school bus crashed into a tree Monday afternoon in Chattanooga, authorities said.

The accident took place in the Brainerd area of Chattanooga, and the area is closed to traffic, according to police."

Prayers guys, this is horrible.

I hope it's less than what Reuters said above.

I hate hearing anything that involves the death of a child or children especially close to the holidays.

Any idea of the area where the crash occurred? A bus hitting a tree doesn't seem to equate to 12 deaths, but I'm clueless as to any other details.

How in the hell? It look like the bus rolled and wrapped itself around the tree hitting it roof 1st and caving it in.

Just horrible

Not sure how it happened but it looks like the tree sliced the bus in half and the bus is on its side... Horrible....

God awful tragedy for the ones that perished and also the ones who survived. They will carry what they saw for a long time if not forever. Prayers to all involved.
Not saying it pertains, but most often the school buses here are the only ones speeding down the road school zone or not. The drivers act as if they are privileged.

This has ruined my night... I hate when things like this happens... Prayers to all the families involved... There were just little kids in that bus... 5-10 years old.. They haven't even started to know what life is about yet....
