Eight people were killed when a bus carrying about 53 farmworkers was hit
by a truck and overturned on West Highway 40 in central Florida, according
to state officials.
The truck driver, Bryan Maclean Howard, was arrested on eight counts of
driving under the influence-manslaughter, the Florida Highway Patrol said.
Thirty-eight people were hurt, eight of whom are in critical condition and
30 who have non-life-threatening injuries, according to Marion County Fire Rescue.
There's a "high probability this may be beyond eight fatalities," Florida Highway Patrol Lt. Patrick Riordan, told reporters.
Howard was among those hospitalized, officials said.
Around 6:35 a.m., the 2010 International Bus and Howard's 2001 Ford Ranger truck were heading opposite directions when the truck veered toward the
center line and the vehicles collided "in a sideswiped manner," officials
said.
The bus veered off West Highway 40, went through a fence and then
overturned, officials said.
