Tragic California Bus Crash Kills 28 Choir Students
Twenty eight Yuba City High School choir members died when a Martinez California bus struck a guard rail on a bridge approach and toppled 30 feet to a field below. Over twenty are seriously injured with drivers and officials coordinating rescue and investigation. Local authorities described a field scene as chaotic with cranes lifting the bus and clergymen administering rites. The crash near the Benicia Martinez bridge ended a road trip en route to a San Francisco Bay Area performance.
