Authorities say four students have been killed in a school bus crash in southwestern Minnesota.

Minnesota State Patrol Lieutenant Mark Peterson says the students died when their Lakeview School bus was hit by a van this afternoon on a highway near Cottonwood. The bus then collided with a pickup and tipped on its side.

The victims weren't immediately identified, and their ages weren't immediately given.

At least 14 people were hurt. The school bus was carrying 40 people at the time.
