A bus carrying Covington Catholic students and chaperones home from the March for Life was involved in a deadly crash Saturday morning, police said. 

The crash happened in Campbell County, Kentucky, around 7:20 a.m. Saturday morning. According to a witness, the charter bus carrying Covington Catholic students was hit by a car traveling southbound that somehow veered into the northbound lane. Several passengers on the bus were injured and two were taken to the hospital to be treated for their injuries. The driver of the car was immediately killed.

“This morning, a bus carrying students and chaperones home from the March for Life in Washington, DC was involved in an accident,” a statement from the Diocese of Covington read. “EMT personnel and the Campbell County police have been at the scene and are handling the matter. Please join us in praying for everyone involved in this accident.”

“I saw a car come across the median and head toward me,” Ricky Lynn, a witness, told WLWT news. “I was able to get out of the way.”

Glad nobody was killed.  God was definitely looking out for them.

7:20 a.m. is an odd time for a cross-over crash. It tends to be caused by a driver falling asleep or incapacitated by drugs/alcohol. I'm not suggesting anything sinister, just saying it's an odd time for such a crash. I wonder if there's enough left of the driver of the car to get an idea what happened. A cousin and most of his family died in a fiery crash in which the driver who crossed the median was so burnt up even a tox screen couldn't be done.

Here's the original local news report:
https://www.wlwt.com/article/1-dead-several-injured-in-bus-crash-carrying-covington-catholic-students-march-for-life-rally/30661318

- Shot across a median
- Started heading the wrong way down a one-way highway
- Struck the bus head on

Either vehicular suicide or they knew that was Covington Catholic's bus and tried (stupidly) to take it out.

It's a proven fact and statistic that most auto accidents happen around dusk or dawn.  The lighting is just "off" and impairs vision.

Whoever planned that trip and hired that charter should have been mindful of the time and left at least 30 minutes later (just my two cents).

Maybe those Covington kids ought to take a hint, and just stay home from now on.  (only half-kiddin'...)
