Site of Fatal Bus Crash May 14, 1988

Superior Coach Company, a subsidiary of industrial conglomerate Sheller-Globe Corporation, manufactured the school bus body involved in the Carrollton bus collision. The bus was a 1977 model-year Ford B700 chassis mated to a Superior school bus body, designed with a capacity of 66 passengers and a driver.

The bus, certified as a school bus with an effective build date of March 23, 1977, had been in use for ten years before the tragic incident. Regularly maintained by mechanically inclined church members, it had successfully completed long trips, including the journey to Kings Island theme park in Ohio.
