4 North Central Texas College softball team members killed in crash- Sophia Maas 2nd period


A Catastrophic event happened late Friday night near Davis, Oklahoma. "An 18-wheel truck veered into oncoming traffic on a major interstate highway and crashed into the side of a North Texas team bus," the bus driven by a coach had 15 players aboard. They were making their return from a game against Southern Nazarene University in Bethany, Oklahoma. Four players were killed, Meagan Richardson, 19, Brooke Deckard, 20, Katelynn Woodlee, 18, and Jaiden Pelton, 20. "The women were ll from small North Texas towns near the campus. "
The entire "close-knit" Texas community college was incredibly torn by this loss, as would anyone else. "This is the most traumatic event that NCTC has had in its 90 years of history," North Central Texas College President Brent Wallace said at the news conference on Saturday in Gainesville, Texas, only 60 miles from the crash side on Interstate 35.

This story is incredibly sad and frightening it could happen at any moment of the day. Drivers need to pay more attention to the road and focus on their surroundings.
