WKU Bus Driver Suffers Fatal Heart Attack
KENTUCKY...
A bus driver who was taking the Western Kentucky University volleyball team to an away game suffered a heart attack while driving and died.
The bus was traveling down Interstate 65 in northern Alabama on Thursday afternoon when the bus began veering toward the median and northbound lanes.
Senior associate athletic director Todd Stewart told WBKO-TV that head coach Travis Hudson gained control of the wheel and brought the bus to a stop.
The team was given the option of postponing their weekend games at South Alabama and Troy, but they decided to play.
