The Tennessee Highway Patrol has released new information, including the drivers of the fatal bus wreck involving a Clarksville-Montgomery County Schools class of eighth-graders.
Three vehicles were involved in the fatal crash in Carroll County on March 27 that resulted in the death of two middle school students: a Clarksville-Montgomery County Schools bus, a TDOT dump truck and a Chevrolet Trailblazer.
According to the THP report, the CMCSS bus had 29 passengers: 24 students, four adults and the driver.
Driving the TDOT vehicle was Dennis E. Coleman Jr., and James Bays was driving the 2024 blue Chevrolet Trailblazer.
Multiple individuals remain hospitalized as of March 30, the report states.
The wreck occurred near Cedar Grove, about 20 minutes outside of Jackson, according to THP.
Nine medical helicopters were dispatched to the scene, with seven completing flights to trauma centers in Memphis and Nashville, THP previously reported.
Ground ambulances transported additional patients to local hospitals.
Tennessee Highway Patrol’s Critical Incident Response Team (CIRT) is investigating with the Pupil Transportation Division and is continuing to gather witness statements, collect physical and digital information, and reconstruct the crash, the report says.

National Transportation Safety Board investigating
On March 30, the National Transportation Safety Board announced that it is joining the investigation into what happened.
According to a statement, the NTSB will look into the driver’s performance, student passenger occupant protection and the oversight of school transportation operations.
THP sent chaplains and peer support groups to the scene and they are continuing to assist affected families and communities. Support services remain in place for students, families, and staff affected by this tragic incident.
