CHATTANOGA, TENNESSEE - Greyhound isn&#39;t paying hospital bills for passengers injured when a driver&#39;s throat was slashed October 3rd on Interstate 24 near Manchester. <br> <br> Greyhound contends the company also is a victim of the criminal attack on the driver. <br> <br> The Dallas-based company has advised hospital administrators and passengers who didn&#39;t have health insurance to seek help from the Tennessee Criminal Injuries Compensation Fund. <br> <br> Hospital administrators say unpaid bills total more than 450-thousand dollars from the bus crash. Six passengers, including the attacker, died in the crash. A seventh died later at a hospital and all the other 34 on board were injured. <br> <br> Bus passengers can apply to the state fund for up to 30-thousand dollars each to pay hospital and other related expenses.
