i recall when i was a boy hearing storys about the prestonburg school bus disaster
The collision and plunge into a river involving a school bus near Prestonsburg, Kentucky on February 28, 1958, was the most disastrous bus accident in United States history.
the reason why the
Home Branch School historical in Floyd County, KY
was open for so many years till near 1985 was that parents
refuse to bus there childern during that time to school by bus
into prestonburg
Home Branch School historical in Floyd County, KY was located
