STORYLINE:
A family from Fremont, California, that was on a duck boat tour said they were thankful for the people who rushed to their aid Thursday
in Seattle after a crash with another vehicle on a crowded bridge.
Thirty-year-old Katie Moody, who suffered a broken clavicle, spoke to reporters from her hospital bed Friday (Sept 25).
She and her family were aboard an amphibious tour vehicle Thursday when the so-called duck boat ferrying tourists across a crowded Seattle bridge swerved into an oncoming charter bus carrying foreign exchange students on their way to an orientation event. The resulting crash killed four people and injured dozens of others.
The Moodys were in Seattle for a family birthday. "Hearing the impact, that was the scariest part," Katie Moody said.
Her father, 57-year-old Greg Moody, received cuts to his face. "We were very fortunate, very fortunate, and I thank God for that," he said as he stood by his daughter's bed.
Katie Moody, broke down in tears as she told a group of reporters from her hospital bed that the kindness of the many people who rushed to the victims after the crash renewed her "faith in humanity."
"I remember waking up on the freeway and I saw people running towards us from their cars," Katie Moody said, her voice cracking. "Everyone was actually really awesome
Greg Moody said he's sad for the many people who were killed or seriously injured. "We were very fortunate, very fortunate and I thank God for that," he said as he stood by his daughter's bed, having only suffered minor facial lacerations in the crash.
The Moody family had come to Seattle to visit the younger son who lives in the city, she said. Katie's brother's daughter is celebrating her third birthday on Sunday so they came to help celebrate, she said.
When asked if he remembered what the driver was doing, Greg Moody said, "Oh, I heard him. He said, 'oh no.'"
