Name of Victim in School bus Crash Released

“It was unbelievable. It was the loudest crash I’d ever heard in my life.”

Skid marks outside Nesa Adams house are all that's left from a deadly school bus accident early Thursday morning.

“It absolutely mangled that car.”

Nesa ran out to help finding the driver of the car unconscious. She started giving him CPR until help arrived.

“They cut him out but unfortunately it was too late to help him.”

Nesa said the car was speeding down highway 56 trying to pass two cars.

While getting over he clipped the car in front of him, spun out of control and hit the bus.

“He hit the bus at full impact and the bus was stopped,” said Nesa.

“It was horrifying.”

Shelly Bible's granddaughter was getting on the bus when the accident happened.

“She had one foot on the step and one foot on the ground when the car struck the bus.”

Shelly said it was the most terrifying thing she has ever seen.

“I thank God all 3 of my girls are ok,” she said.

“Things definitely could have been much worse,” said Kyle Wilson, the superintendent of Sasakwa Public Schools.

Wilson said  22 students were on the bus only one went to the hospital with a minor injury.

“We're glad none of them were hurt seriously.”

Wilson said speeding on Highway 56 is a major problem.

“We have several bus drivers report that they're being passed daily with lights and flashes going stop signs out. The whole bit.”

He  hopes the incident sparks change.

“We'd love to have a law enforcement presence anything like that.”

Shelly feels the same way.

“We need to get signs on each side that's there's a bus stop.”

She offers her own advice to drivers, “If there's kids out on the highest pay attention.”

 
The driver of the car was 19-year-old, Shane Denton.
