Two people were killed Monday when their car rammed a stopped school bus in Harnett County, authorities said.

According to authorities, some students had just boarded the bus and taken their seats when the collision occurred. The speed limit on the stretch of Overhill Road where the accident occurred is 55 mph, but troopers couldn't say immediately how fast the car was traveling.
