Re: Bus accident?
As Vikas Parikh's subteam leader on Team 3125, I would like to personally thank everyone for their wishes and prayers throughout the day's ordeal. Our school has entered a state of mourning for Vikas as the other 15 students involved recover from various injuries. At this time, all of us remaining are expected to make a full recovery, and most have already returned home, save one student with a punctured lung and our team's head mentor.
Students are being kept informed of their friends' locations and medical conditions, and will be meeting at the school tomorrow to share emotions and attend grief counseling. Our team has dedicated our Breakaway bot to Vikas, whose enthusiasm for the team will not be lost in this dedication.
Again, I thank you all for the wonderful support - our FRC community is tightly knit, and a horrible incident like this can disrupt the happiness on a nationwide scale. The cause is still under investigation, and students will be interviewed through the weekend. I will post more details as they become available from local authorities and the media.
