Bus Plunged Toward Housatonic River Saved by Tree
Twenty passengers and a driver escaped injury when a chartered bus slid toward the Housatonic River on a Bevmour Derby road. A large tree on the river bank halted the descent, preventing potential drownings as the river's edge runs deeper than 15 feet. The bus clung to the embankment until passengers reached the road, and police credited the tree with saving many lives. The vehicle, owned by Culep Pom Bus Company of New Haven, had been transporting a group from Camp Palme Boy Scout camp near Oxford. Heavy rains were blamed for loosening soil and triggering the fall.
