All scheduled service has resumed.

Today, it is with great sadness that Greyhound reports a serious accident in Manchester, Tenn., 60 miles southeast of Nashville on Interstate 24, schedule number 1115.

Friends and family can call 1-800-884-2744 and reach the Greyhound Emergency Operation Center in Dallas to find out if their friend or family member was on board.

Greyhound is currently cooperating with the police investigation on any cause for the accident.

* Deadly Greyhound Crash In Tennesse Rattles Nerves
* Bus Company Steps Up Security
NEW YORK -- AP
Ordinarily, Alexis Alexander would have taken a plane from Salt Lake City home to Philadelphia. But these are not ordinary times.

So Alexander, too rattled to fly since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, boarded a bus for a 49-hour journey from Utah that was supposed to end in her aunt's arms.

Instead, an attack on a Greyhound driver in Tennessee on Wednesday left Alexander and thousands of other travelers stranded and even more unnerved.

"I'm going to just stay home from now on," said Alexander, slumped in a waiting area at New York's Port Authority Bus Terminal. "You can't take the bus. You can't take the plane. Pretty soon, you can't even go to the mall. It's not over."

“It’s all over.”

Too bad the only in-depth interview AP could manage for this piece was some low-life mall-rat.
