School bus wreck in Calhoun County

Postby greenheadgrimreaper » Tue Feb 08, 2011 5:23 pm

I heard there was a severe school bus accident involving Choctaw County (Ackerman) school buses this afternoon. From what I have heard they were coming back from a senior day at Ole Miss. They say a coach and 2 teachers were killed, I don't know of anymore. Let's keep em' in our prayers.

of course we heard a million different things here local but I think the 2 teachers and the coach was the last thing I heard.

also hearing the driver of the big truck may have had a heart attack and lost control.

It's terrible, but it could have been so much worse and thankful no kids died.

Saw this on the news, could have been worse, but any loss of life is still bad enough. Prayers for the families, and passengers involved and the deceased.

It was bad and could have been much worse.I got caught in the traffic while working sat for about an hour saw the aftermath and it's a wonder all were not killed.Traffic was backed up 5-6mi. and just got the road cleared about 8.

Hey guys, yall just pray for all the kids and staff at Ackerman. I have a couple in my youth group and they are pretty shook up. This will be tough on them especially the next couple weeks.

I knew the teacher who was killed, sweet sweet lady. She and her husband lost a young son a few years ago, tragic. Ever notice how bad things seem to follow some families? just awful.
