The bus starts to lose control (2010)
The General Hospital bus crash occurred during a ski trip organized by Dr. Steve Webber from December 29, 2010-January 5, 2011. A group embarked on a bus journey to the ski slopes on Cedar Mountain. Regrettably, the bus met with an accident prior to their arrival at the intended location.
Storyline[]
Olivia, Morgan, Cameron, and Steve prepare to leave for the ski trip
Everybody is having fun talking, singing, and laughing on the way to the ski lodge on Cedar Mountain. Morgan Corinthos calls his mom Carly Spencer and she asks how everything's going. While Morgan talks to her, the bus starts going out of control and chaos ensues. The bus hits a patch of ice and rolls off a cliff, throwing everyone out of the bus.
After the phone call ends abruptly, Carly realizes that the kids had crashed and starts to worry. At the site, Steve wakes up and finds that his nephew Cameron is okay. Four others who were also on the bus are knocked out on a small cliff, but once they wake up, they are okay. Steve, as a doctor, checks on the other passengers, so the four others watch Cameron. When Matt and Maxie wake up, Matt's eye is bleeding and Maxie realizes that his arm is broken. Michael, Molly, Taylor, Kristina, and Ali all wake up in a nearby area. Ali is laid out on a rock while her head bleeds badly.
Sonny with Kristina after she is injured in the bus crash
At the hospital, Carly tells some people what happened and Nikolas tells Elizabeth Webber. She begins to worry about her son Cameron. Soon, Alexis Davis and Sam McCall arrive for any news on the crash. Later, Abby Haver, Michael Corinthos' girlfriend, shows up, with his dad Sonny Corinthos arriving a few minutes later. They meet one another for the first time. Back at the site, the bus driver is found dead, and Olivia is found with internal bleeding. It takes a while for Morgan to be found, though, but on January 4, Michael finds him in the snow and his leg is broken. A rescue team comes and takes the injured passengers to the hospital.
Kristina suffers hypothermia, but she eventually recovers. Matt and Morgan end up with broken bones, and Olivia needs surgery. Other than the bus driver, the only person to die is Kristina's friend Ali. After everyone is examined by a doctor, they all get to go home. Everyone recovers eventually, but Molly soon begins suffering from post traumatic stress disorder. She then meets Shawn Butler, an ex-Marine who also has PTSD, and he helps her get better.
