Two or more buses carrying members of the renowned Grambling State University marching band were involved in a traffic crash in southern Arkansas, injuring at least a half-dozen people.
Dallas County sheriff's dispatcher Rory Tucker said Friday the Grambling buses were northbound Friday afternoon on U.S. 167. Tucker said it wasn't known if any of the injuries were life-threatening.
Arkansas State Police spokesman Bill Sadler said six people were hurt, with none of the injuries believed to be grave. Tucker said a dozen people were taken to a hospital in Fordyce, just south of where the crash occurred.
Grambling is scheduled to play Arkansas-Pine Bluff at 1 p.m. Saturday in Little Rock.
Fordyce is about 65 miles south of Little Rock.

Not to make light of the situation, but from what I have been told about the Grambling and Southern bands these injuries are probably less severe than the ones they get from being hazed in summer band.

That's unfortunate. I saw them loading up on Friday. They were really nice buses so I hope they helped absorb a lot of impact.

Mrs. Champ saw the busses pulled over on her way to Ruston. She deduced that they were headed to play UAPB, but couldnt figure why they had continued straight north on 167 above Fordyce. (The neutral site game in LR explains that.)

Glad everyone is going to be alright.

Are you not aware the SU Human Jukebox was suspended for a game THIS season because one of their members was put in the hospital due to hazing?

Ok, so what does that have to do with Grambling and the accident?
