Title: Bus crash at I270 spur near Democracy Blvd. kills driver and snarls traffic
Post by: WMAveteran on September 30, 2010, 02:16:51 AM
 A chartered bus belonging to Wolf's from Pennsylvania crashed over a retaining barrier and plunged 45 feet down an embankment onto I270 spur about 4:00 PM Wednesday afternoon, 10/29/2010.  Apparently the 66 year-old driver collapsed and slumped over the wheel prior to the crash and the passengers were unable to regain control of the bus.  According to the videos the bus appears to be an Eldorado-type two axle/six wheel conveyance with suburban seating.
