I'm sure that gentleman is, um, happy they were around that day.

A truck crashed into the rear of a Breckinridge County School bus yesterday morning.

The accident happened about seven thirty in the eleven thousand block of Highway two fifty-nine South, not far from McDaniels.

Cougars perform at six fifteen on Saturday evening.

We gotta get to our break.

Well, that evening, I was ready to go to work, tested positive, so you can't come to work for seven days.

So I have a, a- I'm fortunate enough, I built a little cabin up at Rough River Lake, which is in, uh, Breckinridge County, where I'm at, and it's about 58 miles from my home in Owensboro, so- I, to get away from my wife and my elderly father-in-law, who was staying with us at the time, I wanted to quarantine at the lake.

So I drive, it's about a 58-mile drive from Owensboro up here to the cabin, and I go through a town, I go 54 east, and I get to the town of Fordsville.

Just past Fordsville, there's a Highway 261.

And once it's gone, it's gone forever.

What could have ended in a tragedy ended up being a, um, being, uh, good news for an elderly Hart County man who was found alive in Grayson County last evening.
