Sounds from the report like everyone is going to be okay, from the video it looks like someone could have died. We wish our friends the owlbots the best and everyone involved a very speedy recovery.

That looks terrifying. It's a great stroke of luck and relief nobody got seriously injured.

I hope that you can all think back to the happy memories of this week and the bad memories of the bus ride home can fade.

WOW; I've never seen anything like that before ever. I wonder what the cause of the accident was.

So glad that no one was severely hurt.

Thoughts, prayers, and best wishes from Team 2252 The Mavericks in OH. We are so grateful that no one was seriously injured and we echo the sentiments that over time the wonderful memories from championship weekend will far outweigh the traumatic memories of this accident.

I heard from 4797 today and part of what they said was "Everybody came home on the replacement bus.
We will have aches for this week.
No broken bones."
Which is a miracle.

We were in the backup on the highway after this accident and drove right by it. Had no idea it was a fellow team! So glad everyone is safe.

It happened on an exit ramp that was a very short, sharp turn and it was raining heavily at the time. We had to take an alternate route to get home because the interchange ramp was closed down.

Just wanting to get this out on CD to make sure that everybody knew about this. This was the only article that I could find about it. Does anybody else know anything about this? Is everybody ok?
