Bus driver didn’t hit the brakes before fatal accident
The driver of a bus carrying a marching band that crashed in Alabama earlier this year was unresponsive just before the bus slammed into a ravine, according to an investigative update issued by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB).
The early morning March 13, 2018 accident near Loxley, Alabama claimed the life of the driver and caused injuries to all 46 passengers. The motorcoach operated by First Class Tours of Houston, Texas, was traveling westbound on Interstate 10 (I-10) in Baldwin County. The bus was on the final leg of a 4-day chater, transporting a high school marching band from Disney World in Orlando, Florida, where the band had performed, to Channelview, Texas.
