Ken Lambert/The Seattle Times via AP
Emergency personnel work at the scene of a fatal collision involving a charter bus
and a “Ride the Ducks” amphibious tour bus in Seattle on Thursday.
Four killed after tour vehicle,
bus collide on Seattle bridge
A driver who was behind
the duck boat said the tour bus
and duck boat were headed
in opposite directions. Brad
Volm of Philadelphia said the
amphibious vehicle swerved
in front of him. The left front
tire of the duck boat appeared
to lock up, and the vehicle
swerved into the oncoming
charter bus, he said.
Witnesses
described
hearing a loud screech and
then seeing injured people
lying on the pavement or
wandering around in a daze.
Nurse Jahna Dyer said
she was walking across the
bridge when she came upon
the scene, a mess of jumbled
metal and glass. Some
victims were lying on the
road. Others milled about,
seemingly in shock and
falling down.
Dyer jumped a railing
separating the sidewalk from
the roadway and helped
stabilize an injured man’s
neck. She said she also
helped a woman who had a
cut lip and glass in her eye.
“She was holding my
hand and saying thank you,”
she said.
John Mundell said he was
at the south end of the bridge
when the crash occurred.
“We could hear the
screech and twisted metal. It
was surreal,” he said, adding
he saw what appeared to be
a few dozen people on the
ground. “I wanted to try to
help. I felt helpless.”
When emergency crews
arrived, “a lot of people were
running at them,” pleading
for help, Seattle Fire Lt. Sue
Stangl said.
Bloodworks Northwest, a
blood-donation organization,
issued an urgent appeal for
donors, saying the need for
transfusions for crash victims
was straining their supply.
The amphibious vehicle is
operated by a tour company
called Ride the Ducks, which
offers tours that are known
for exuberant drivers and
guides who play loud music
and quack through speakers
as they lead tourists around
the city.
Company President Brian
Tracey said he did not know
what happened. “Our main
concern right now is with
the families of those hurt and
killed,” he said.
Because foreign students
were on the charter bus,
efforts were being made to
contact consulates, Mayor
Ed Murray said. He had no
other details.
North Seattle College
spokeswoman
Melissa
Mixon said students and staff
from the school’s interna-
tional program were among
those injured.
The bridge was expected
to be closed for hours. It has
three lanes in each direction
and no barrier separating the
north and southbound lanes.

SEATTLE (AP) — A
“duck boat” tour vehicle and
a charter bus carrying foreign
students to a college orienta-
tion event collided on a busy
Seattle bridge Thursday,
killing four people and
sending dozens to hospitals.
The collision happened
on the Aurora Bridge, which
carries one of the city’s main
north-south highways over
a lake. At least eight people
were in critical condition,
and many others suffered
lesser injuries.
There was no immediate
word about the cause of the
crash, which involved a mili-
tary-style tour bus that can
also be operated on water.
Initial reports described the
accident as a head-on colli-
sion.
“We didn’t see anything.
Just the sound. The smell
of gas,” said Rujia Xie, a
16-year-old from China, who
was on the bus carrying about
45 North Seattle College
students and staff. The group
was headed to Safeco Field
as part of new-student orien-
tation programs.
She said glass fell on
their faces, and some people
jumped from the bus.
Xie held a bag of ice
against some bruises on her
face as she left the North
Seattle College campus,
where the less seriously
injured people on the bus
were taken.
