ROGERSVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — A Tennessee school bus driver died in a crash Monday that also caused minor injuries to two students, authorities said.

The bus was hit Monday morning by a 2005 Chevy Silverado on Highway 70 near Rogersville, news outlets reported, citing a preliminary report from the Tennessee Highway Patrol.
