An East Bay teacher and more than a dozen students were injured in a tour bus crash in France on Friday.
Photos of the wreckage show damage to the front of the bus after it collided with a big rig. Brandon Mercer's teen daughters Addison and Sydney were on that bus."We got a call it was early in the morning on Friday. And it's one of those terrifying calls where your child is screaming and hysterical and you don't know what's going on and you try to get them to calm down," said Mercer.
The trip had been postponed from 2020 due to the pandemic, so there were soon-to-be juniors on the trip as well. EF Educational Tours, which operated the tour, said the Albany Middle School French teacher is doing well, but has a fair amount of recovery ahead.
