That student is recalling the accident that happened Monday on I-55 in Litchfield, Illinois.  Troopers say a school bus carrying a group of sixth graders from the Highland School District, returning from a field trip to Springfield, crashed into the back of a semi truck.  The driver was cited for failing to reduce speed to avoid an accident, and has since been suspended from his job.
