The National Transportation Safety Board has launched an investigation into a deadly school bus crash in Carroll County, Tennessee that killed two middle school students and injured several others. The crash involved a school bus, a Tennessee Department of Transportation dump truck, and a Chevrolet Trailblazer SUV. Authorities say the investigation could take 1-2 years to complete.
Why it matters
School bus safety is a major concern, especially after high-profile incidents like this that result in tragic loss of young life. The NTSB investigation will aim to determine the causes of the crash and identify any safety issues with school transportation operations that need to be addressed.
The details
According to authorities, the crash occurred on Friday when the school bus from Montgomery County initially collided with the TDOT dump truck. Dash cam video captured the initial impact. Two students on the bus were pronounced dead at the scene, while several others were airlifted to trauma centers in Memphis and Nashville with injuries. The school bus was transporting a group of 8th grade students and educators from Kenwood Middle School who were headed to a weekend competition in Jackson, Tennessee.
The crash occurred on Friday, March 28, 2026.
The NTSB said it has ‘initiated a safety investigation’ on Monday, March 31, 2026.
What they’re saying
“The details of the crash are still ongoing. It doesn’t appear the dump truck ‘had any contributing factors to the crash.’”
— Maj. Travis Plotzer, Tennessee Highway Patrol
“In a moment, their lives and their families’ lives were upended. As a mother and a lifelong educator, I cannot begin to imagine the fear and pain they continue to endure. I ask that everyone pray and wrap their arms around these students, employees, their families, and the entire Kenwood community.”
— Jean Luna-Vedder, Clarksville-Montgomery County School System Director
What’s next
The NTSB said a preliminary report on the crash investigation could be released in about 30 days, while the full investigation may take 1-2 years to complete.
