A bus carrying students from Covington Catholic High School was involved in a fatal accident following Friday's March for Life rally in Washington, D.C.
The head-on crash occurred on the AA Highway in northern Kentucky around 7:20 a.m. Saturday morning. The driver of the other vehicle, whose name has not been released, died in the accident. Two people on the bus were taken to the hospital for treatment while others suffered mild injuries.
"I saw a car come across the median and head toward me," Ricky Lynn, a witness who was also driving north, told WLWT.com. "I was able to get out of the way."
The bus was one of four charter buses transporting Kentuckians to the rally in Washington, D.C., totaling approximately 200 people.
The Diocese of Covington said in a statement: "This morning, a bus carrying students and chaperones home from the March for Life in Washington, D.C.,was involved in an accident. 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."
