Bus crash on Caesar's Head, SC

[ruthi]

The guy who owns the company is a really nice guy, as well as his wife. We got the setra and the motor from him that we decided not to use. Glad no one was seriously hurt. Thank God she chose to go into the trees instead of off the side.

Being something of a skeptic, after looking at the pictures, I have to wonder if the driver didn't just lose it coming around that sharp curve and later coming up with the intentional ditching explanation.

I would probably disagree because 1. she was in the middle of the 3 bus  pack, and 2. she rear ended the  first bus before going off road.

I sure hope others aren't so quick to throw me under the bus if I wad one up while parking. I hope they at least wait until they read/ hear all pertinent facts before passing judgement.

Having driven that road many times, there are many other spots that are easier to leave the pavement. There are very few spots that you can leave the road & live to tell the tale. Regardless of the driver's actions prior to leaving the camp, she did a good job minimizing injuries.

I also think bus drivers should be checking their own equipment, I know I did. Trust the mechanics, but verify - it ain't the mechanic having to deal with equipment failure (with a load of passangers) while it is happening . . .

Amen! & Thank you Kyle! (would you like a job as a safety director for a small bus company in TN? It don't pay much, but the benefits are great! No babysitter fees! We already run an ADULT driver DAY CARE CENTER! )

I'm thankful for the minimal injuries and I do believe that the driver, most likely, did everything possible to stop safely in the only way that was possible with the choices that were available but what I'm not hearing is any concern for caesars head, if a bus load of people crashed into my head I would have migraine #19, sorry I shouldn't have broken that ground.  It's just that when you try to get ahead, everyone wants to run you over. But I guess I'm just thankful for the minimal injuries, it seems when we hear of bus accidents we also hear of deaths, it's nice not to hear that this time.

Cody,

That was a hoot. Poor Caesar. I am glad that somebody feels bad for him .

God bless,

Do you think Caesar was fiddling while the brakes were over heating?
