Several people died in the Thursday evening crash, but the exact number was still unknown, Countryman said Friday. Six people were hospitalized. The driver who will be charged was heading eastbound when his semi crashed into vehicles that had stopped because of an earlier accident farther ahead on the interstate involving another semi and a school bus, Countryman said Thursday. The school bus was carrying 43 kids from Jeffco Public School District's Stober Elementary School, district spokeswoman Sara Merkel said. Five of the children were hospitalized but quickly released, she said.
