BILLINGS - Authorities have identified a 7-year-old girl, killed in a school bus crash, as Sarah Fark of Worden. A deputy Yellowstone County coroner says the girl died of blunt force trauma to the body, when she was knocked out of a school bus window, during a collision last evening with a pickup truck east of Worden.

The Highway Patrol says the girl was not wearing a seat belt. The patrol says the bus stopped at an intersection, and then pulled out to turn when it was hit on its passenger side, by a one-ton pickup pulling a trailer loaded with gravel. It happened about at 6:10 p.m.

Charges are pending against the bus driver, 45-year-old Roxanne Shult of Ballantine, for failing to yield to the oncoming pickup.
