A school bus carrying about 30 students spun out of control on a busy highway and slammed into a concrete pillar, killing a teen-age girl and injuring 17 other persons, police in St. Louis said. Students aboard the bus said their driver, Mark Trice, 26, was drag-racing a car on Interstate 70, and police were considering filing charges of vehicular manslaughter against him. Several students said Trice asked them if he should run another car off the road, police said.
