Greyhound halts service after fatal crash Greyhound halts service after fatal crash October 3, 2001 Posted: 8:03 AM EDT (1203 GMT) MANCHESTER, Tennessee (CNN) -- Greyhound halted nationwide bus service Wednesday morning after a bus crash in Manchester, Tennessee, that killed four people, a company spokeswoman said. A passenger told CNN affiliate WTVF that a rider had slit the throat of the driver. Victims were being airlifted to hospitals in Nashville to the north and Chattanooga to the south. Although Greyhound reported four dead, Vanderbilt Medical Center in Nashville said 10 people had died. Spokeswoman Kristen Parsley said the company is capable of contacting drivers on the road to tell them to halt service. "Greyhound officials felt we need to do that as a precaution," Parsley said. She said anyone who feared loved ones may have been on the bus, which was traveling from Nashville to Atlanta, Georgia, could call 1-800-884-2744 for information. Carly Rinearson, a passenger on the bus, said in a phone call to WTVF that a man kept asking if he could have her seat near the front of the bus. Rinearson said when she refused to give up her seat, "He just went up to the bus driver and like slit his throat. And the bus driver turned the wheel and the bus tipped over." The bus, thought to have been carrying around 35 passengers, was on its side in the median of Interstate 24, according to Parsley. The accident occurred near the intersection of I-14 and state Highway 41 near mile marker 105, police said. cnn.com GZ
