NATIONAL PARK SERVICE
MORNING REPORT
To: All National Park Service Areas and Offices
From: Division of Ranger Activities, Washington Office
Day/Date: Friday, August 9, 2002
INCIDENT
02-365 - Ozark NSR (MO) - Mass Casualty Incident
On July 30th, a school bus carrying 21 passengers and operated by park concessionaire Current River Canoe Rental overturned on a county road east of Akers Ferry outside the park. Park seasonal maintenance worker Kevin Atkins reported the accident and district ranger Bill Terry and ranger Mary Ficker responded and provided EMS and traffic control. Eleven people were transported to Salem Hospital by four ambulances. They were all treated and released. The rest were uninjured. The passengers were being shuttled from Pulltite to Akers for canoe trips on the Upper Current River. The Missouri Highway Patrol reported that the 18-year-old driver, who had a valid commercial driver's license, dropped the front tire off the shoulder while going downhill on a curve and overcorrected, causing the bus to turn on it's side. The bus did not roll completely over, which prevented further injuries. [Larry Johnson, CR, OZAR]
