The Latest: Feds to check tire in bus crash that killed 4

COLUMBIA, SC (AP) – Two federal investigators are going to North Carolina to check the tires on a bus that crashed, killing four people on their way to a South Carolina junior college’s first-ever football game.

National Transportation Safety Board spokesman Christopher O’Neil said in a statement that the agency hasn’t decided whether a full investigation is needed into the wreck that also injured 42 others Saturday afternoon on U.S. Highway 74 near Hamlet, North Carolina.

Troopers say the left front tire of the bus blew out, sending the left side scraping against a concrete bridge column. The driver of the bus died, along with two men with the Ramah Jucco Academy team and a 10-year-old child.

Most of the players went to Clinton College in Rock Hill. The school says it is canceling classes Monday and bringing in grief counselors.
