Church education minister Terry Slay told Atlanta station WXIA-TV that the bus was carrying 11th- and 12th-graders, along with adults who were going on an worldwide mission trip.
According to investigators, the bus was in lane 1 and attempted to change to lane 2 when it collided with a Chrysler that was already in lane 2.
Police said the driver of the bus tried to change lanes and collided with another auto. The collision caused the bus driver to steer to the left which caused him to lose control. The upside down bus then slid into the Mercedes that was traveling in the westbound lanes.

The Fulton County Medical Examiner's Office says 17-year-old Sarah Harmening of Huntsville, Alabama, was killed in the crash.
Before she died in a bus crash outside Atlanta, an Alabama teen wrote in her journal that God had called her to a mission trip in Africa for a reason.
Raycom News Network spoke to the pastor of another church in Huntsville who knows several people who were on that bus Thursday when tragedy struck.
The group, mostly members of a student ministry mission, was traveling to the African nation of Botswana on a 10-day missionary trip, church spokesman Frank Rucker told CNN affiliate WAAY-TV.
"That God has called me here ..."
In that entry Sarah mentioned that her mood was quite bad, as she was going to spend much time in another place, that's why she felt uncomfortable. Students not requiring medical attention have returned home; the church canceled the mission trip and its Vacation Bible School program for the week.
