A tour bus carrying dozens of middle school students from Lexington, Massachusetts caught fire on I-93 north in Woodstock, New Hampshire on Friday night. An adult on the bus was taken to the hospital for smoke inhalation. At about 6:30 p.m., a caller reported to New Hampshire State Police that the bus was on fire and that those onboard, including children, were evacuating. When firefighters arrived, the back of the bus was fully engulfed in flames. Troopers have determined the bus was carrying about 60 middle school students and adult staff members when the engine compartment began to smoke just south of Exit 32.
And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.
Colossians 3:15
