Scary story coming out of North Carolina this morning – eight members of the Carolina Mudcats, high-A affiliate of the Atlanta Braves, were taken to the hospital on Tuesday morning after their bus flipped over on the way to Myrtle Beach for a game with the Myrtle Beach Pelicans. Seven players and one coach were transported to a local hospital with what were termed minor injuries.
Mudcats director of broadcasting and media relations Greg Young was tweeting photos of the accident.

Young also explained what he saw happened to WECT News.
“Some of the players held on to their seatmates so they wouldn’t be harmed any further,” Young explained. “Everyone kind of huddle up and when the bus stopped everybody got up as fast as they could. Everyone checked on each other to see if there were any major injuries.”
Young said it was “weird” to figure out which way the bus had flipped.
“We ended up going to the top [of the bus], so we went through the hatch,” Young said explaining everyone kept checking to make sure the players and staff were all okay before getting off the bus.
Terrifying stuff. Hopefully everyone is OK, and none of the injuries are more serious than some scrapes and bruises.
