A church van rolled over in southwest Georgia Sunday evening, killing four of the 17 occupants on board, authorities said.
The van, belonging to the Tabernacle of Prayer and Deliverance in Columbus, Georgia, was headed to Florida when it overturned on a highway in Early County.

It was not immediately known if the occupants were wearing seat belts
