It was a somber start to homecoming week Monday at a suburban Denver high school after a bus carrying junior varsity football players and staffers crashed at the airport, killing the driver and injuring 18 passengers, some critically. There are five people who were injured that were taken to Children’s Hospital Colorado and they are “all in fair condition”.
– Three students were injured when the school bus they were riding on collided with a pickup truck near Lakeland. There were three students on the bus who were transported Lakeland Regional Health for medical treatment of minor injuries. All of the students who were hospitalized had been released by the afternoon of September 12. Police interviewed the football players about the crash.
Students are trying to use homecoming week “to work together as a team, school to build a really strong team together”, Stockhus said. He is now the Defensive Coordinator Coach at Legacy High School and was a former Head Coach at Thornton High School. Heath Montgomery, a spokesman for the Denver International Airport, said the crash occurred at approximately 4:00 p.m. The school bus was stopped in the right lane due to another bus stopped ahead with red lights flashing.
The airport has said at least five others went to other hospitals, but didn’t say where or what their conditions were. The school bus was from the Delaware First State Military Academy.
