This documentary tells the story of the worst school bus crash in U.S. history, which occurred in Floyd County on the morning of Feb. 28, 1958. Carrying 48 elementary and high school students, the bus collided with a tow truck on U.S. Hwy. 23 just three miles south of Prestonsburg and then plunged over a steep embankment into the swollen waters of the Big Sandy River. The director will be available for questions after the film. Contact Mike Deetsch at 502-564-1792 ext. 4425 for more information.
