4 Dead, 5 Injured In Fiery Crash

Two adults and two students are dead after a fiery bus crash yesterday afternoon in rural southern Nebraska. A twenty-year-old driver of a tractor-trailer and a school bus driver carrying several students crashed into each other and ignited a fiery blaze that injured several other students. Both of the drivers perished, as did an eighteen-year-old boy and a ten-year-old girl. Authorities have not released any other details of the crash.

Five other students were taken to a local hospital. Two children, a ten-year-old boy and an eight-year-old girl were admitted to the hospital and remain in stable condition, while two others, a seven-year-old boy and a six-year-old girl were treated and released at a nearby hospital. A seven-year-old girl was flown to Children’s Hospital in Omaha, where she remains in critical conditions.

The tractor-trailer driver who perished was the star defensive end for the high school’s football team and was also engaged to be married. Via a statement made by State Patrol, the County Attorney asked for privacy as the county tries to help the families deal with the tragedy.

Motor vehicle accidents involving a single truck or bus can be traumatic, but an accident involving both can be catastrophic. Bus accidents and truck accidents cause more serious injuries than typical car accidents. Bus passengers get tossed into walls and fall into aisles because of the lack of seatbelts. Semi trucks and trailers cause substantial damage to other vehicles because of their tremendous size.
