The bus was headed from Kenwood Middle School in Clarksville to the Toyota Hub City Grand Prix Greenpower USA Race at the Jackson Rockabilly Stadium. The incident occurred shortly after noon on the same day as the Tennessee Highway Patrol reported a crash involving a Tennessee Department of Transportation dump truck and a Chevrolet Trailblazer. The Montgomery County community gathered at a vigil for the victims, with many shedding tears and sharing information about the accident.
