Bus on Black History Tour Crashes; 1 Dead

A bus taking children on a black history tour plunged off Interstate 95 into a river, killing a chaperon regarded as a grandson to civil rights pioneer Rosa Parks. The 34 others aboard were injured. The bus, part of a tour co-sponsored by Parks’ civil rights foundation, went off the road near Stony Creek, Va., and hurtled into the 5-foot-deep Nottoway River. Four people were seriously hurt, including a 16-year-old girl who broke both ankles, and driver, Don Toliver of Detroit, who had a hand and foot amputated. Most of the other injured were treated at local hospitals and released. The cause of the crash was not known.
