The school bus was at a stop on Arkansas 124 east of Quitman picking up a fourth child when a Kia van struck the back end of the bus, ultimately killing the van's driver, Martha Bearden, 54, of Guy, the report states. The road conditions were clear and dry, according to the report. The report also lists a female passenger of the van — Phoenix Bearden of Guy, whose age is not provided — as injured. Sadler said Friday afternoon that Phoenix is an infant, whom he said in an earlier statement was uninjured.
