BoddaH1994 Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 https://www.wcpo.com/news/our-community/from-the-vault/from-the-vault-carrollton-bus-crash-killed-27-shocked-tri-state-in-1988 A bus coming back from Kings Island was hit head on by a drunk driver just north of Louisville. This resulted in the horrific death of 27 people - mainly children. Although this was not something that happened at the park, this, my friends, is our history. 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've driven past that sign many times, and it indeed refers to this accident. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timfsu2k Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 I'm from Carrollton and you wouldn't believe how many people here want that sign taken down. Technically the crash didn't happen in Carrollton but it is widely known as the Carrollton Bus Crash. Such a tragic event and the individual stories of the survivors are incredible. One even went on to play football at the University of Kentucky! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People will drive by on I71 and see the Carrollton exit and then see that sign and equate the two. It's stupid but there definitely are people here who wish it would be removed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
