GALVESTON, Texas  — A 13-year-old girl has died of injuries suffered when she jumped from a moving Texas school bus after an argument with another student.

Galveston County Sheriff Henry Trochesset (TRAHS'-uh-set) says investigators believe the girl intentionally opened the rear emergency door and jumped.

The bus was going about 55 mph Monday on Interstate 45 near Bayou Vista when the girl jumped and suffered a head injury. A coroner said she died Wednesday afternoon.
