\u201cBus damage can be fixed, but lives cannot be replaced,\u201d Tritt said. \u201cI\u2019m so incredibly sad for those who lost their lives tonight.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m told that two people were killed in tonight\u2019s accident was the result of someone who was obviously driving drunk or impaired,\u201d he added. \u201cJust a sober reminder to everyone to never drive if you\u2019ve been drinking or impaired in any way. Uber or Lyft is just a phone call away.\u201d<\/p>\n

We sustained minor damage as we tried to avoid the crash site in front of us. Bus damage can be fixed, but lives cannot be replaced. I\u2019m so incredibly sad for those who lost their lives tonight.<\/p>\n
