Summary

A school bus carrying 39 people, including 37 high school students, was struck by a westbound Chevrolet Malibu that crossed the center line in Winter Haven, Florida on October 5, 2026. The bus hit a Jeep head-on. Two people died: a 10th-grade student on the bus and the driver of the Jeep. Reports differ on the number hospitalized, ranging from 26 to 35 students transported to hospitals, with at least one person in critical condition. The bus driver helped students to safety. The Malibu driver is cooperating with investigators; one report notes the driver reported not remembering the incident, and another states no signs of impairment were observed. The National Transportation Safety Board opened a federal safety investigation.
