WATCH: Paramus Candlelight Vigil For Bus Crash Victims
A candlelight vigil was held Thursday for the victims of the East Brook Middle School bus crash a week ago.

PARAMUS, NJ — A candlelight vigil was held for the two people killed, a teacher and a student, in a school bus crash on I-80 May 17.
Teacher Jennifer Williamson-Kennedy and 10-year-old student Miranda Faith Vargas died in the I-80 crash after the bus collided with a dump truck. They were from East Brook Middle School.
Forty-three people on board were injured, some critically, Gov. Phil Murphy said last week at a press conference. Many underwent surgery. One student, Sofia Evelich, was in critical condition in the hospital. It is unknown if her condition has improved. Her family has not responded to requests for comment.
