Yuba City High School Bus Tragedy
In the late morning on May 21, 1976, a bus filled with the school's choir veered off the Marina Vista/Martinez Exit off-ramp from southbound Highway 680 (now Exit 56 of Interstate 680), fell approximately 30 feet (9 m) and landed on its roof, crushing the roof towards the bottom. As a result, 1 teacher and 28 student lives were lost, and many families' lives changed forever. The Marina Vista exit has since been renamed to Waterfront.
The content was collected and maintained by Tom Randolph, '76, who was on the bus and lost his twin brother in the accident. Tom has since died, and classmates have updated and maintained his website with financial support from the Memorial Committee.
