A crowded bus loaded with young families and spring breakers crashed near San Antonio Tuesday, killing two people and hurting a dozen others. Among those on the bus were four Nevada High School students.
Amanda Rewerts, her sister Chrissy, and their friends Miranda Gibson and Ashli Decina were on the bus when it crashed. Justin Rewerts got the news his daughters were involved in the accident Tuesday morning. "Whew. Just, oh my God." he said when asked about his initial reaction, "I hope they're OK."
Amanda suffered a head injury, and Chrissy got a few bumps and bruises. They talked on the phone with their dad this afternoon. "Both Amanda and Chrissy were asleep at the time it happened." he says, "They woke up to the bus sliding sideways down the road and they both say it rolled over. Amanda says she got knocked out and Chrissy was just kinda freaked out about it."
Amanda and Chrissy may stay in Texas to visit relatives while Gibson and Decina are expected to come back to Nevada. Rewert says he just wants to hug his daughters and see for himself that they're alright. "It's pretty scary," he says, "Just so far away and you feel like you're helpless."
