The school bus returning to Waseca High School was headed east on Interstate 90 when it collided with a westbound Ford Mustang at about 8:40 p.m. near the interchange with Hwy. 22 in Foster Township in Faribault County, the State Patrol said.
The patrol has not said how the crash occurred, but there is road construction in the area.
The Mustang driver, Mark Alan Tigner, 55, of Brandon, S.D., was pronounced dead at the scene. He was wearing a seat belt, the patrol said.
Seven teenagers on the bus operated by Waseca Public Schools were taken to a hospital in Albert Lea for treatment. The school bus driver and a 24-year-old woman on the bus were not hurt, the patrol said.
"We can confirm that no Waseca students or staff were seriously injured in the incident, and we are following up with students and families to support them through this event," the district said in a statement.
The collision remains under investigation.
Republicans across the country benefited from favorable tailwinds as President-elect Donald Trump resoundingly defeated Democrat Kamala Harris. But that wasn’t the whole story in Minnesota.
