Three other young people in the car were injured, two of them seriously. The students were on their way to the Southern Huntingdon High School at the time of the crash. WAL-MART Flames broke out yesterday afternoon at the Altoona WalMart. WalMart employees and customers evacuated safely. Fire officials say the blaze began in WalMart's craft department and was out almost as quickly as it started, but even after the fire was extinguished smoke still lingered throughout the store.
Officials say the fire was contained to a display shelf by the sprinkler system.
WalMart officials hope to have the store re-opened sometime Thursday. They managed to contain the fire to the two end apartments. Four apartments suffered water damage. All 10 units were evacuated. No one was hurt.
