A bus chartered from Alabama for a family reunion in Buffalo, Ny. ends in a tragic crash around 3 a.m. this morning on I-65 in Warren County, Ky. At least one female is confirmed dead and up to 66 injured in the crash which happened just before the Cumberland Parkway interchange. The bus apparently ran off the road and then struck a bridge crushing the front of the bus. Area hospitals were overwhelmed with victims. The Medical Center had as many as 46 victims, two were flown to Vanderbilt Medical Center, others flown to other area hospitals. At least four are known to be in critical condition at the Medical Center. Victims of all ages were involved. An investigation by the Kentucky State Police has been started to see if the driver possibly fell asleep. The driver is currently under treatment at the Medical Center.
