    A Texas state transport bus carrying prisoners between Abilene
    and El Paso ran off a bridge Wednesday, tumbling onto a passing
    train below, killing 10 people, authorities said.

    Ector County Sheriff Mark Donaldson said the dead included eight
    prisoners and two prison officers, the Odessa-America reports.

    There were 15 people on board the bus, which was operated by the
    Texas Department of Criminal Justice. The crash occurred near
    the town of Penwell.

    Sgt. Elizabeth Barney with the Texas Department of Public Safety
    also confirmed the number of fatalities.

    Donaldson said the bus went off an icy bridge, fell into the
    middle of the moving train.
