Two students died and two others were hurt along with their bus driver Tuesday morning when a school bus plunged from Loop 610 in southeast Houston.

 

The wreck occurred about 7 a.m. on the eastbound frontage road of the South Loop near Telephone Road, according to the Houston Police Department. It appears to be the first death of a student in a public school bus accident in Texas since 2008, according to state data.

 

Witnesses say two girls and two boys were on the bus, along with the driver.
