Greyhound buses were back on the road at 1 p.m. today, after halting all service for most of the day following a Greyhound bus crash in Manchester, Tenn. that killed at least 6 people. There were concerns initially that the crash was caused by a terrorist.
A passenger told a Nashville television station that another passenger slit the throat of the driver, causing the bus to crash. U.S. Justice Department spokeswoman Susan Dryden told the Associated Press that it was too early to tell if the accident was terrorist-related, but the agency didn’t believe so.
Dallas-based Greyhound stopped all service as a precaution after the crash, spokeswoman Kristin Parsley said. About 1,900 of its 2,300 buses had been on the road when the crash occurred. Buses already en route were allowed to continue to their destinations. Greyhound officials said the service will be suspended at least until the end of today.
