The 10 people killed in a Northern California bus crash included a Los Angeles couple recently engaged in Paris.

Debra Loyd confirmed for The Associated Press on Friday the death of her grandson Michael Myvett and his fiancee, Mattison Haywood.

A spokeswoman for the Center for Autism & Other Disorders in Southern California says Myvett provided therapy for autistic children there for the past two years.
