AP talks with Allen Slabaugh, bus accident survivor
"For me personally, it had a very similar feel to the bus accident in 2007."
Those are the thoughts of Allen Slabaugh, in an interview with the Associated Press concerning a second bus accident that he survived.
Slabaugh survived a 2007 bus crash that killed five Bluffton University baseball teammates and two other people. He told the AP of flashbacks this week when he went through another serious accident with another team - fellow cyclists he'll lead on a cross-country ride for charity.
"The van tilted a little bit, and went and rolled," Allen Slabaugh said Friday, as he recounted Tuesday's wreck on Interstate 84 in Burley, in southern Idaho. "For me personally, it had a very similar feel to the bus accident in 2007."
Slabaugh, 24, was on a bus carrying members of the Bluffton University baseball team to Florida when it plunged off an Atlanta highway overpass. The bus driver and his wife were killed, along with the five teammates.
