LUCERNE VALLEY,
Calif. — A bus returning
teenagers from a weekend re
ligious retreat swerved out of
control on a steep mountain
highway, overturned and
plunged 15 feet down an
embankment late Sunday,
killing two people and injur
ing all 28 others aboard.
The passengers who died
in the crash were identified as
Kristine Knepp, 18, and Tony
Viso, 16, of Calabasas, a com
munity west of Los Angeles.
A teenage passenger
aboard the yellow school bus
said the transmission and
brakes apparently failed.
Most of the injured were
airlifted from the crash site by
four helicopters 30 miles to
hospitals in Victorville, about
80 miles east of Los Angeles,
after motorists at the scene
helped take musical instru
ments out of the bus so the
passengers could be removed.
“There were 30 total on the
bus,” California Highway Pat
rol Sgt. Charles West said late
Sunday. “Two were killed,
and all the rest were injured to
some degree.”
He said 15 were believed to
have suffered serious injuries,
though none were
lifethreatening.
Hospital officials said most
of the victims were being tre
ated for broken bones and
cuts.
Ben Rubidoux, a deputy
San Bernardino County
coroner, said the 27-year-old
bus driver, Paul Wood,
blamed brake failure for the
crash.

more licensees to make it avail

In San Jose, Calif., the baking
technologist for a trade associa

low sodium raisin bread that re
sembles regular raisin bread in
flavor and texture.

made without extra fiber and
