Bus hit a pillar under an overpass..47 members of a church group on the bus...what I saw on TV is not good..looks like front half of the bus is gone..

It seems that so many of these bus accidents involve "Church Groups".

It always seems to happen on church trips. A bus full of middle school boys.
My prayers go out for the families involved.

Peeled open like a can of sardines.

I'm watching it on local news. Two buses of youngsters, 6-12 graders, going to a Church Youth Camp from Garland, Tx.(Metro Church) to Louisiana Tech.

Four dead at the present time. It was the boys bus which hit the bridge abutment.

Survivors taken to Methodist Hospital in Dallas and to Tyler.

I witnessed a semi do this a couple months back in Wisconsin. Not much of the truck or bridge left afterward.
