Saw a school bus and what appeared to be a Mercedes involved in a wreck this morning at the intersection of hwy 29 and I 85.  <img src="http://www.spartanburgracing.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

'>  The car was completely burned (burning) when I saw it... only recognizable by the wheels.  The school bus was still on fire, and mostly burned up.  

The radio said the children were out and safe, but the driver of the car didn't get out.  <img src="http://www.spartanburgracing.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

there was a BIG wreck coming off of 85 and getting on 26.  An 18-wheeler did something and tore up the metal guard rail thingy

I heard a student from Byrnes was in a wreck on the interstate, and was killed today.  Anyone know about that?

I would have refused to be burned to death.  That would be the worst way to die.  Id rather chew my leg off than die like that.

Apperantly what happend is the car hit the bus head on, and the bus apperantly won.   One of the guys I work with with real good friends with the guy.. He was pretty torn up about it.   Thats an absoulty horrible way to die.

Every one drive safely.

Thats something not easy to accept. <img src="http://www.spartanburgracing.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='
