I just found out my uncle was in the bus that rolled down a mountain last night in Utah (leaving Telluride Colorado). They were headed back to Phoenix. 8 people were killed and many are in critical condition. My uncle was thrown from the bus (which probably saved him) and what I found out is that he has a broken collar bone, broken nose and stiches and scrapes and bruises. He was up there with a bunch of people from work. I know that one of the people killed was an 18 year old boy that one of the fathers brought that my uncle works with I believe the father is in critical condition. The hopital was so small that they just put my uncle in a hotel room by the hospital. I am so relieved he is relatively okay but my heart is breaking for the other families. I heard that the tour guide made the call to leave back for Phoenix even though the passengers were very apprehensive. They said they'd take it slow!

OMG.... those pictures make it hard to belive anyone survived. My heart goes out to all the families of the ones that were lost. I am glad you uncle is okay and I will pray for a quick recovery for him.

It's hard to believe anyone survived that accident! Someone was definitely watching over the ones that are still living. I'll be thinking of your uncle during his recovery!!! My heart breaks for those who lost family members and friends!

omg that is insane! the tour operator said they'd take it slow yet they were going 65mph on wet roads when the accident happened! that's just awful. Your uncle and his friends are in my T&P.
