The California Highway Patrol confirmed the FedEx truck was traveling southbound on I-5 when it crossed into oncoming traffic, striking a northbound passenger vehicle, then the tour bus.
Some of the students are reportedly from R.F. Kennedy High School in Koreatown, an uncle of one of the students involved told Eyewitness News.
The students were traveling north on a tour to visit the campus of Humboldt State University in Arcata.
