A bunch of bystanders stopped by, and I waded out there, and I lifted them out and put them down, and they put them up to safety,\" Henderson said.The driver of one of the buses and four students were taken to hospitals, but officials said the injuries weren't serious.The students were visiting New Orleans to go to the zoo and other tourist attractions.The victim in the crash wasn't immediately identified.Raw video: Driver describes fatal accident on I-10Sign up for our email newsletter to get breaking news right in your inbox.\u00A0 Click here from your desktop computer to sign up; on our mobile website, use the drop down box to the right to \"Get Email Alerts.\""^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
