As Police Identify Crash Victims, MTA Driver's Father Remembers 'Great Mother'

Baltimore Police have identified five of the six people killed in the Southwest Baltimore bus crash.

They include:

The MTA bus driver, Ebonee Danell Baker, 33

The school bus driver, Glenn R. Chappell, 67

Gerald Holloway, 51

Terance Lee Casey, 52

Cherry Denise Yarborough, 51, was an employee of the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and a longtime volunteer at Live Baltimore.

The next of kin for the sixth person killed, a 46-year-old woman, has not been determined.

Police spokesman T.J. Smith has also released an update on the 10 injured. Three remain hospitalized at Shock Trauma and their conditions are fair, serious and critical. Seven others were treated and released from Shock Trauma and other area hospitals.

Two of the three people are women in their mid-20s to mid-40s. The man is in his mid-20s. National Transportation Safety Board investigators are assisting city police in the investigation.

Phil Yacuboski spoke with Daryll Spence, Baker's father.

He described her as a "great mother, a great wife, a great daughter and a great friend." A city employee, he left work as soon as his other daughter--also an MTA bus operator--called her with the news and he went straight to Shock Trauma.

"This tragedy has rocked the offices of the MTA and has left a noticeable heartache at MTA headquarters," MTA officials said Wednesday. "But nowhere is the pain as deep as it is at the MTA Eastern Bus Division on Oldham Street where Ebonee worked. They knew her personally – their pain is real."

She was an avid Ravens fan and a mother of four. Between her and her husband, she had seven, "and she was mother to all of them," Spence said.

"I don't even know where she got the energy from, to do all she's got to do and then wake up at 3 a.m. to work," he said.

He said he'll remember the cookouts, the football games and their conversations. He said he imagines her telling him not to stop what he's doing just because she's gone.

"She's not going nowhere. I love my daughter and she loves me and I know it, how her friends talk about 'Ebonee talked about you all the time,'" Spence said. "I don't question God for what he does, but I think he might've wanted another football mom up there, or somebody to help with the kids and stuff, because she's good with that."

But more than anything, Spence said, his daughter was always trying to take care of others, right up until the end.

"A friend of her's son got murdered and the day before yesterday, she was helping console that person and help to get money to help bury him and stuff," Spence said.

"She never accomplished that mission because the next day this happened to her."
