A school bus making its morning rounds slammed into a railroad bridge Monday, ripping apart the driver’s section and sending children scrambling to escape.

A 5-year-old girl and the driver were killed and two other students were critically injured, authorities said.

The crash happened just before sunrise after rain showers had moved through the area, but authorities didn’t know what caused the bus to crash into the concrete pillar in the middle of a city street. They were awaiting autopsy results on the 60-year-old driver.
