CAMPBELL COUNTY, KY. – One person has died and others were injured in a crash with a charter bus filled with Covington Catholic students Saturday morning.

Campbell County police confirmed the bus was coming from the March for Life in Washington, D.C., when the bus and a vehicle crashed on the AA Highway and California Crossroads intersection around 7 a.m.. The driver, and only occupant of the vehicle, died.

Officials from Gold Shield Transportation, the charter bus company, said they are focusing on the immediate needs of the passengers and had no other comment at this time. An employee from the charter company said the Gold Shield bus driver was injured and taken to a nearby hospital.

Campbell County Emergency Management Officer Greg Buckler said there was a total of four people transported to a local hospital.

Ricky Lynn was driving on the AA highway taking a friend to the airport when he saw the charter bus. He indicated the driver that hit the bus may have been in the wrong lane.

“I glanced over and looked and all I’d seen was headlights. I was able to get out of the way and I looked back to make sure everything was OK. I didn’t see anything happen, so I kept going,” said Lynn.

Lynn says he did not see that there was a crash until he was on his way back from the airport.

“It’s pretty bad this morning. The weather’s bad. It’s one of those things we try not to get ourselves into,” said Lynn.

The Diocese of Covington issued a statement this morning.

“This morning, a bus carrying students and chaperones home from the March for Life in Washington, DC was involved in an accident," said Laura Keener, spokeswoman for the Diocese of Covington. "EMT personnel and the Campbell County police have been at the scene and are handling the matter. Please join us in praying for everyone involved in this accident.”

U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell tweeted about the crash at around noon Saturday.

"Tragic news this morning as #Kentucky students return home from the March for Life. Elaine and I will keep all involved in our prayers, and we're thankful to the first responders on the scene. I'll continue closely monitoring the situation," he wrote.

Thousands of Catholic school students and pro-life advocates rallied in Washington, D.C., on Friday for March for Life. This is the 47th year of the march protesting the Supreme Court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling which legalized abortion in all 50 states.

This is the second year that the march puts Covington Catholic High School in the news. Last year, the march overlapped with the Indigenous Peoples March, a one-time event on the heels of the Dakota Access Pipeline protests which led to a now nationally-known encounter between student Nick Sandmann and Nathan Phillips after a short clip of the two went viral.

Investigators are still on the scene.
