Students Injured in Bus Crash
Apparently, a bus carrying students from Centenary United Methodist Church out of Lexington, KY was involved in an accident on Sunday in Dothan, AL.  The bus was part of a three bus caravan taking 70  middle and high school students to a church camp in Panama City, FL when the collision with a pickup truck occurred.  Two children in the pickup were in critical condition and the driver of the truck was also hospitalized.  Sixteen of the students along with the bus driver, his wife and an adult chaperone were taken to the hospital.  While most of the students were treated and released at least one was admitted for observation.  The bus driver's wife also had serious injuries.  Area churches and the Red Cross assisted the students with transportation and other needs.  The students were very shaken and disturbed.  This type of accident makes me wonder whether it is time for Kentucky to visit the question as to whether seat belts should be required on school buses and mass transportation buses. I can only speculate as to whether seatbelts would have prevented or limited many of the injuries sustained in this accident.
