Officials with die National Trans portation Safety Board were at die scene on Interstate 10 where the bus and trailer collided Monday af ternoon. “At this time, the NTSB is in Beaumont and we have our safety professionals on the site/’ Trailwavs spokesman Font Kissell said. NTSB spokesman Mike Benson said six investigators would spend at least three to five days reviewing the scene and wreckage. A Final report will probably be is sued in six months, he said. Among those killed was the Inis driver, Jesse Carroll, 44, of Le- compte, La. “He’s had an excellent on-the- road record,” Kissell said of the 15- year veteran bus driver. The driver of the truck and a pas senger with him were among the in jured. The bus had just left the down town Beaumont station early Mon day afternoon in a rainstorm and was heading for Houston. The bus was about 85 miles west along Inter state 10 when a moving van veered across the grass median and collided with it. Tranae Chardon, 22, of Houston, said, “1 remember just seeing all the chairs go to the front and 1 climbed over and started helping everybody . . . telling them to calm down and i trying to pull people out.” Chardon was a passenger seated in the middle of the Inis. The impact tore off the front half of the bus and split the right side, leaving a trail of debris and mangled bodies along the highway. Other passengers killed in the ac cident were identified as Demetrio Arrendondo, Palmetto, Fla.; Eliza beth Bradlute, Austin; Imogene Shepard, Beaumont; Harry Dow sed, Basildon Essex, England and Katharine Dowsed, also of Basildon Essex, said Lisa Sheffield, a Beau mont police disptacher. The bus carried 27 passengers and the driver, Kissell said. The bus had left New Orleans about 7 a.m. and stopped in Lake Charles, La., before arriving in Beaumont. In Advance ■ic He Unix.
