Indiana State Police identified Alivia Stahl, 9, and her 6-year-old brothers Xzavier and Mason Ingle as victims in the Tippecanoe Valley School Corporation school bus stop crash that occurred near Rochester around 7 a.m.

A fourth child, 11-year-old Maverik Lowe, was also struck. He was transported to a Fort Wayne hospital in a medical helicopter and remains in critical condition. “He has multiple broken bones. My last report was that he was conscious so that’s a good thing,” according to Slocum. Maverik was not related to the children who were killed.

At the time of the incident, there were other children at the bus stop. No children were on the bus.
