17 YEAR OLD BUS PASSENGER: "I Thought I Was Going to Die"

Posted: Updated:

PENDLETON, Ore. - Investigators are not yet releasing the names or nationalities of the bus passengers involved in Sunday's fatal accident, however, several teenagers were on board.

The Oregonian reports two teenage boys, ages 16 and 17, moved from Korea to Vancouver two years ago and were among the survivors.

The boys talked to local media through a translator at a makeshift shelter set up at the Pendleton Convention Center. The 17-year-old boy had a broken collarbone and the other was not hurt.

"I thought I was going to die," the 17-year-old said through a translator.

The Oregonian put the number of injured at 39, though state police confirmed only 26 as of Sunday night.
