The four Texas college softball players killed in a bus crash this weekend are remembered as close friends with big hearts both on and off the field.
Authorities are still trying to piece together what happened Friday evening, when a tractor-trailer crossed over Interstate 35, into the southbound lanes, near the Oklahoma-Texas border. It struck a bus owned by North Central Texas College that was transporting the team back to campus after a scrimmage game.
The four players killed were identified as Meagan Richardson, 19; Brooke Deckard, 20; Katelynn Woodlee, 18; and Jaiden Pelton, 20. The four women, from small North Texas towns near the college, were celebrated in local newspapers before and after their tragic deaths for their character and athletic skills.
Softball teams across the country wore red ribbons or marked "NCTC" on their uniforms to honor the young women.
Deckard, who earned all-state honors in softball and came from Blue Ridge, Texas, was remembered by her former coach at Blue Ridge High School as one of the best hitters he ever coached.
"A lot of people will remember her as a great softball player, and she was," coach Cody Carlisle told the [URL="http://heralddemocrat.com/news/local/coaches-remember-players-killed-oklahoma-bus-crash"]Herald Democrat[/URL]. "But as good a softball player as she was, she was an even better as a person."
Similar memories from students of the two-year public college were shared through social media, including on the North Central Texas College Lady Lion softball Facebook page. Earlier this week, photos of the new softball stadium signs were posted, declaring the 2014 regional champions of the National Junior College Athletic Association.

Too soon

But I thought big rigs don't collide with anything except for the ground which they adhere 1:1 to.

Dude.

Will the inevitable adaptation of this be straight to DVD or be a feature film?

I go to the same college, but not the same campus that they went to.
I didn't hear anything about it today besides information on the college's website about the vigil.

North Texas highways are a mother fucker sometimes.
