Three dead, 29 hurt in school bus accident

OMAHA, Neb. -- A school bus returning from a high school band competition veered off a road, went through a bridge guard rail and crashed into a gully Saturday. Three were killed and 29 were injured, some critically, authorities said.

The victims -- two Seward High School students and the mother of a band member -- died at the scene, Douglas County Sheriff Tim Dunning said.

The bus, which was traveling on U.S. 6, was on its side as rescue workers tried to pull passengers out.

Seven people, including two students, were in critical condition.
