Winchester couple involved in deadly school bus wreck

Diana was taken to a local hospital for treatment along with 22 others.

Gina Evans, a senior administrator for Centenary United Methodist, said this morning that Diana is one of the church's two adult passengers remaining hospitalized in the wake of the crash. Evans said Diana suffered a broken arm among other injuries, but is in good condition.

"She is doing really well, and they are hoping to get to come home soon.," Evans said.

Authorities said Monday that an 11-year-old Georgia boy who was riding in the truck died from injuries, and another 9-year-old passenger in the pickup was listed in critical condition. The truck's driver was listed as stable.

Lester Combs is a paid driver for the church. Evans said Lester's expertise and experience as a driver saved lives.

"We are totally convinced that because of his expertise, there was the best outcome for the bus that there could be," she said.

Most of the church members continued their trip Monday afternoon, church administrator Charles Olive said.

Richard Grier, minister of students at Centenary, told The Dothan Eagle that the church members appreciated the help they received and were ready to move on.

"The kids are resolved that even though it was a tragic accident, that God is going to be honored through this, and that this is going to teach us and grow us," Grier said.
