“The driver was trying to get out, but he could because of his legs. He couldn’t feel the legs and it took fire service 45 minutes to an hour. They had to cut the door,” Kwanza stated.

Seeing that he could not assist them, Kwanza turned his attention to the passengers on the school bus.

“Inside the bus, it was people screaming like a movie, chaos,” says Kwanza.
