- Seven people, including a six-year-old and 16-year-old, were killed when a bus overturned east of Vicksburg, Mississippi, early Saturday, Warren County Coroner Doug Huskey said.

The two young victims were siblings, according to the coroner.

Huskey said several people were injured but he was unable to provide a figure.

He said the incident, which took place between Vicksburg and Bovina on Interstate 20 around 12:30 a.m., involved a tour bus with 47 people onboard, most of whom were Latin American.
