(UPI) A yellow school bus taking 42 singing and laughing teenagers to a high school dance Friday night was smashed in half by a three-diesel Canadian National freight train.

The driver and 18 youngsters were killed. Authorities said the 101-car, Toronto-bound train was going about 35 to 40 miles an hour when it hit the bus broadside at 8 p.m., EDT. Before the westbound train could be hailed, bodies and wreckage had been strewn for three-fourths of a mile. Police said they were investigating a report given by two women who said they were stopped behind the bus seconds before the accident and saw two or three youngsters tampering with a signal box a few yards down the track.
