The crash comes less than one month after a student was killed, and five others were critically injured in a South Carolina school bus crash.

The bus, carrying North Carolina middle school students, blew a tire and flipped on the highway.

According to previous reports from Fox News Digital, 13-year-old Jose Marie Gonzales Linares lost his life in the incident, while 17 additional individuals were transported to the hospital by ambulance or helicopter.
