"It was insane," said a witness, Marc Smutny, 27. There were also more than 30 injuries at the scene of the crash, when the bus exploded into flame. The other fatalities of the bus crash were students. The drivers of the FedEx semi truck and the tour bus were killed. "Our hearts go out to those who have been affected, and we are here to support them, and their families, in any way possible," said university President Rollin Richmond. Officials at Humboldt State University said that the students were on their way there to visit the campus when the tragic bus crash took place. The crash happened at about 5:41 pm Pacific Time Thursday, when a FedEx truck somehow swerved over a highway meridian and slammed into the tour bus head on. A fiery bus crash on Interstate 5 in Northern California claimed the lives of nine people, some of them high school students on their way to a college campus tour over Spring Break.
