Morehouse Band Member Still Hospitalized After Crash
(WSB Radio) One member of the Morehouse College band spent the night at Grady Hospital after getting hurt when the band's charter bus overturned Saturday.
Doctors said the student may have a broken neck.
The band was heading to a game with Albany State University, but never made it.
As many as 13 band members were hospitalized after they crashed on Interstate 75 in Henry County near I-675.
About 42 students were on the charter bus, one of three that was heading to Albany for the football game.
Police told WSB Radio a car may have cut in front of the bus, causing it to go out of control, but that has not yet been confirmed. In addition, the interstate was wet at the time of the accident, but it is not known whether those conditions contributed to the crash.
The bus overturned after going out of control, flipping into a ditch, on its right side.
"This was a frightening day for a us, a sad day," said Morehouse President Dr. Robert Franklin. "But thank God not a tragic day."
Counselors were on hand on campus for students.
In addition to the 13 students who were taken to the hospital, several more students complained of injuries and were treated at the scene.
