Eight people are dead and around 40 others were hurt after a bus carrying farmworkers overturned in Florida on Tuesday morning.
The bus was carrying 53 farmworkers when it hit a pickup truck in Marion County, north of Orlando, the Florida Highway Patrol said.
The bus swerved off a road and crashed through a fence and ended up on its side, the Associated Press reported.
The workers were on their way to Cannon Farms in Dunellon to harvest watermelons.
"We will be closed today out of respect to the losses and injuries endured early this morning in the accident that took place to the Olvera Trucking Harvesting Corp.," Cannon Farms posted on its Facebook page. "Please pray with us for the families and the loved ones involved in this tragic accident. We appreciate your understanding at this difficult time."
No other details were immediately available.
