2 more survivors return home from fatal church-bus crash

STATESVILLE, N.C. — All but two of the survivors in a deadly church-bus crash have returned to North Carolina.

Six people from Front Street Baptist Church in Statesville died on the way back from a religious celebration in Gatlinburg, Tenn., in October.

Pastor Marvin Boyer and his wife, Sandy, remain in Tennessee.

Eight of the survivors are split among three hospitals and rehabilitation centers.

Investigators said a tire failed, causing the bus to hit a semi-truck and SUV on Interstate 40.
