Condolences to those involved and their families.

Just goes to show...every schedule you pull out could be your last.

 

Hopefully GLI will do something(even as trival as naming a bus after him) to honor this driver who gave his life to try and save the passengers. 32 safe years (roughly 2-3 million safe miles) deserves to be remembered.

 

My heart goes out to all that lost somebody in this tragic accident.

So very sad.

 

Whats even more sad MVC bought some small stupid ish up "State Department of Motor Vehicles records show Jewett received a ticket in 2008 for failing to register a vehicle"

 

What in the hell does that have to do with the crash....

Nothing.

 

Just the usual bash the driver comment. As far as I'm concerned the guy died a hero,trying to save his passengers.

 

Weirdly enough I saw that bus at the D.C. terminal 2 months ago. 30600 and 30601 are the only two D4500s that Greyhound USA has. They came with the purchase of TNM&O. (To the uninitiated that's Texas New Mexico and Oklahoma Coach Lines)

I didn't think it was a bash. I think the media was showing how good of a record he had, showing that he only had one blemish in his record - showing that he's that good yet he's still human IMO. Still, what a tragedy.

This is terribly saddening. But thank the Lord more lives weren't lost. My condolences goes out to the families.

now the news has been reporting that the SUV driver was drunk and crashed into the guardrail and the bus didnt have a chance.

It's usually a drunk driver that's the cause of car accidents.
