Bus Crash On Embankment Involving Union Pacific Train
Johnson, 23, and inmate Pineda were transported after a bus crash toppled an embankment and struck an eastbound Union Pacific train carrying UPS parcels and other cargo. Investigators say the bus, in the left lane behind a tractor-trailer, was passing a second truck when the collision occurred. Johnson described severe injuries and long recovery, including multiple broken bones and collapsed lungs. He recalled the Jaws of Life and a chaotic rescue as inmates on the bus faced cold weather, heat swings, and medical trauma.
