Eight people died when a bus carrying church members home blew a front tire, crossed the grassy median of Interstate 40 in eastern Tennessee, clipped an SUV and collided with a tractor-trailer before overturning, officials said Wednesday. Six people on the eastbound bus were killed, along with one of three occupants of the SUV and the tractor-trailer driver. There were 18 people on the bus from Statesville, North Carolina which were a group of senior adults who attend Front Street Baptist Church. The wreck occurred about 2 p.m. in Jefferson County, about 40 miles east of Knoxville, between Interstate 40 near the split with Interstate 81. After the bus went out of control, it struck the westbound Chevrolet Tahoe and the tractor-trailer which then caught on fire. It was a horrific crash that ended the lives of many people.
My opinions on this shocking article are that I feel really bad for the people on that bus because the driver was really careless. I also feel sorry for the drivers in the SUV and the tractor trailer because they got clipped by a huge bus because of a careless mistake. I also feel this could have been easily avoided by just keeping your eyes on the road. I also feel bad for the people on the bus because they did nothing wrong to lose their life.
