Eight people are dead and another eight are critically injured after a bus carrying farm workers crashed and overturned early Tuesday morning in north central Florida, officials said.
The crash involved a 2010 International Bus transporting farm workers and a 2001 Ford Ranger truck and unfolded on State Road 40, 500 feet west of SW 148 Court at 6:35 a.m., the Florida Highway Patrol said. The crash site is about 45 miles south of Gainesville.
The two vehicles sideswiped each other, and the bus traveled off the roadway through a fence and overturned, FHP said.
Eight people were killed and 37 were hospitalized — eight of whom are critically injured, the Marion County Fire Rescue confirmed to NBC News.
In total there were 53 patients in the crash, MCFR said.
