Timothy Kay, a graduate of Blessed Trinity Catholic High School in Roswell, survived the bus crash on I-75 Friday morning without any serious injuries.
"My son is in good shape," Kay's father, Ed Kay, told reporters outside Grady Hospital. "He just had some cuts and scrapes. He remembers waking up and the bus was on the ground and he was scurriying to get out."

Timothy Kay called his father and told him he was in an accident, but didn't know where he was because he was asleep, Ed Kay said. The Kay family then turned on the television and learned the accident happened in Atlanta.
Among the people the Kays contacted was Frank Moore, Blessed Trinity's principal.
"When I got to the office this morning, I had an e-mail from his dad saying that he was OK," Blessed Trinity Principal Frank Moore told the AJC. Kay was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital after the accident for treatment, Moore said.
Kay, a junior right-handed pitcher on the Bluffton team, was an all-conference honoree. The Web site of the Ohio university said Kay "returns as Bluffton's ace, while also having spent time as the team's designated hitter."
The Beavers play in the Heartland Conference. Kay earned first-team all-conference honors as a sophomore.
As a sophomore, Kay hit .360 (45-of-125), with 35 RBI's, 27 runs scored, eight doubles and two home runs. Kay finished the year with a .488 slugging percentage and a .409 on-base percentage while also stealing nine bases.
During conference play, Kay had four doubles and two home runs while hitting .313 (25-80). As a pitcher, Kay was 5-4 with five complete games in nine starts and 11 appearances.
The players who survived are holding up well, Ed Kay said. "They're doing well. They're obviously concerned about their teammates and coaches."
As for Timothy Kay, "He's ready to go home," his father said.
