Prestonsburg, Kentucky bus disaster

The collision and plunge into Big Sandy River involving a school bus near Prestonsburg, Kentucky on February 28, 1958 was the third deadliest bus crash in United States history. It is tied for fatalities with the Carrollton, Kentucky bus collision in 1988, and the only deadlier crashes were a 1963 bus-train crash in Chualar, California and the 1976 Yuba City bus disaster, which claimed the lives of 29 people.
