California Teen Bus Crash Kills 10
Ten people including five teenage students have been killed in a fiery bus crash in California. On Thursday evening a lorry crossed a motorway median and struck the bus, engulfing both in flames and injuring as many as several dozen people. The more than 40 students were on the way to Humboldt State University for a campus tour. Both drivers and three adult chaperones were killed. The crash happened about 100 miles (160 kilometres) north of Sacramento. "Our hearts go out to those who have been affected, and we are here to support them, and their families, in any way possible," university president Rollin Richmond wrote in a statement following the accident. Authorities were still working to identify which school districts the deceased students were from. A rescue worker on the scene told local media up to 37 people had also received treatment for cuts and burns. |

Re: California Teen Bus Crash Kills 10
I understand completely. I remember once going to a park with really high cliffs. They went to look over the edge with dad, meanwhile I'm in the tall grass puking with worry. True story. |

Re: California Teen Bus Crash Kills 10
This is such a tragic story :-( & a buddy of mine worked with the driver of the Truck, some think the dude had a heart attack causing him to loose control of the the rig... This story is close to home for me because the students on that bus were from L.A & on their way to Humbolt county to check out a college & on this same day my 16 yr old daughter was on a different bus with students living around Sacramento Ca. & headed to a seperate college campus :-( my condolences to all families involved

Re: California Teen Bus Crash Kills 10
Im just thankful that I didnt hear about this horrible crash until my daughter was already safe at home that night, then I felt a bit of guilt that I was sooo relieved that it wasnt her bus :-( I cant imagine what those families are going through |
