Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Ramadan 27, 1437, Jul 2, 2016, SPA -- Five people were killed and 25 were injured when a bus carrying farmworkers collided with a tractor trailer causing both vehicles to burst into flames Saturday on a highway in the Panhandle, sheriff's officials said. According to AP, the Blue Bird bus from Georgia was carrying roughly 34 adults and children when it ran a flashing red light before hitting the tractor trailer, then spun around and hit the semi again. One of the bus passengers killed was a small child. The driver of the semi-truck, Gordon Sheets, 55 of Copiague, New York, also died, said Wakulla County Sheriff Charlie Creel. Deputies responded to a gruesome and chaotic scene as the front and the back of the bus was on fire when they arrived. --SPA 23:06 LOCAL TIME 20:06 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
