A lacrosse coach who was six months pregnant has been killed in a crash in Pennysylvania after her team bus veered off the road and hit a tree.
Katrina Quigley, 30, and her unborn child were both killed in the accident as well as the bus driver.
The Seton Hill University team players and coaches were among 23 people on the bus when it veered off the Pennsylvania Turnpike.
Ms Quigley, from Greensburg, was flown to a hospital but died of her injuries. Authorities said her unborn child also did not survive.
The bus driver, Anthony Guaetta, 61, of Johnstown, Pennsylvania, died at the scene.
Workers from the Coroners' Office examine the wreckage The collision appeared to have shorn away the front left side of the bus, which rested upright about 70 yards (65m) from the road at the bottom of a grassy slope.
No other vehicle was involved and the cause was not immediately clear to detectives.
The team was heading to an afternoon game at Millersville University, around 50 miles from the crash site in central Pennsylvania.
Saturday's game and a Sunday home game were cancelled after the crash, which is now being investigated by police.
Seton Hill, a Catholic school of about 2,500 students near Pittsburgh, said a memorial Mass was planned for Sunday night on campus.
Ms Quigley, a native of Baltimore, was married and had a young son, according to the school.
Duquesne University women's lacrosse coach Mike Scerbo remembered her as a warm, outgoing person who immediately impressed him when he hired her to be an assistant during the 2008 season.
Ms Quigley spent just one season under Scerbo before moving to South Carolina to coach Erskine College's lacrosse team.
She spent three years at Erskine before taking the top job at Seton Hill for the 2012 season.
Bus operator, Mlaker Charter & Tours, of Davidsville, Pennsylvania, was up-to-date on its inspections, said Jennifer Kocher, a spokeswoman for the state Public Utility Commission, which regulates bus companies.
This included bus and driver safety checks.
The agency's motor safety inspectors could think of no accidents or violations involving the company that would raise a red flag, she said, though complete safety records were not available on Saturday.
On Tuesday, another bus carrying college lacrosse players from a Vermont team was hit by a sports car that spun out of control on a wet highway in upstate New York, sending the bus toppling onto its side, police said. One person in the car died.
