These folks were traveling from Argentina to Alaska when a truck rear ended them. They do not speak much English. Will probably need a lawyer who can speak Spanish.

Have put in a request with Everett if it will be OK to post a link to this thread in the Split Bus forum.

Oh, man, what a tough break. If the damned truck driver could not see because he was blinded by the sun, what is he doing driving?! They really do need a lawyer to get to the truck driver's insurance company. Does anyone have the name of that insurance company? Or when this happened?

Anyway, it is sad that they will not get that bus repaired, and that it will not make it to Alaska. There is no way that bus is rolling again.

But that does not mean that this couple will not make it there, in another bus, perhaps! I wish I had a running spare one for them!
