Bus Accident Scene, the Aftermath

Still a little shaken by the charter bus collision yesterday that almost sent one (if not both) buses full of Job Corps kids plummeting 30 feet onto I-5, we walked back down to the scene, East Thomas Street and Melrose, this morning. The buses had been towed away last night. The west end of East Thomas was vigorously sanded to give the trucks traction, and a temporary guardrail installed. Thank god for the days of plentiful rebar.

Cables hold a broken chunk of concrete guardrail over I-5 after the charter bus accident at East Thomas and Melrose on Capitol Hill. (MvB)
