One person was killed when their vehicle struck the back end of a bus in Pike County this morning.
Pike County deputies identified the victim as 16-year-old Isabella Johnson of Rockport.
The accident happened about 7:45 this morning in the Pleasant Hill School District.
State police say the accident occurred on US 54, west of 165th Avenue in rural Pike County.
The report indicates a passenger car driven by Johnson rear-ended the bus. Both vehicles caught fire.
The bus had 11 occupants, and the adult driver and ten students were able to escape unharmed.
Police say the flashers were on at the time because the bus was slowing to pick up children.
US 54 between 165th and 265th Street was closed for a time while officers investigated.
Pleasant Hill schools remained in session yesterday and today. Support services were present to help students, staff and parents cope with the situation.
