LEESBURG, Va. (AP) - Loudoun County police say a woman was killed and four passengers seriously injured in a two-vehicle wreck near Leesburg.

Police say the wreck occurred just before 5 p.m. on Friday when the driver of a bus that had been converted into a food truck was driving east on Watson Road and ran a stop sign. The bus then collided with a station wagon driving northbound on Evergreen Mills Road. The driver of the bus and two juvenile passengers were taken to a local hospital. The driver of the station wagon, identified as 39-year-old Erin Kaplan, was pronounced dead at the scene. Four passengers, including three children, in her car were airlifted to a hospital, where they remain in critical condition.

The crash is under investigation, and charges are pending.
