Everyone who received further medical evaluation and treatment following Thursday’s Pine Ridge Middle School bus incident has been released from hospitals, according to district reports. One person, a boy age 13, lost his life in the crash. A prayer vigil was held at the school Saturday morning.

The incident, along Interstate 77 south, occurred about 50-60 miles from the school, as three buses were heading back after a field trip outside Charlotte. In addition to multiple injuries, one Pine Ridge Middle School student passed away.

“Our focus since this devastating event has been, and will continue to be, our students, families, employees, and the entire Pine Ridge Middle School community,” Superintendent Brenda Hafner said Saturday. “Our heart aches for the family of the student who is no longer with us.  We are thankful to know others who were being evaluated and treated have now been released.”
