Bus wreck
It was 1999 and I was in 8th grade along with my twin brother. We were on our way to Raleigh to meet the governor of North Carolina, Jim Hunt. There were a total of four charter busses that were taking us there. I was on the last bus, while my brother was on the third bus. After about an hour down the road, our bus suddenly pulled off of the road. I had no idea what was going on, then I noticed that the third bus had crashed into the second bus. There was also no sign of the first bus. I eventually found out that the first bus had no idea what had happened and ended up all the way in Raleigh. A car had swerved in between the two buses, and the driver of the third bus lost control, causing the accident. A lot of kids had to go to the hospital with missing teeth and broken bones. I had that “twin feeling” that my brother was one of them. Sure enough he was hurt the worst of anyone (on a stretcher in photo above). He ended up breaking his mandible, which is the bone that holds your teeth. He eventually recovered and about two months later we made it back to see the governor. Brent Wagner |
