Not even one week in…………..
My literal immediate thought…
Little info on whom was at fault . Aside from a medical issue or mechanical issue , if the driver of the bus was at fault , they should loose the ability to drive a bus …
If the driver of the gold car was at fault , how the heck do you not see a gigantic yellow bus ???
First week of school! Really???? You people can’t drive to save your life!!
I was the first person to get to her. She was never unconscious. She was talking to me.
fn idiots on the road!!!
Still under investigation? Don’t these busses have cameras all around them? Accidents like this happen in the blink of an eye; doesn’t take that long to watch the footage.
And it’s a shame that we’ll never know who was at fault.
People just will not slow down. It’s crazy the tailgaters and total idiots on the road now. There are so many times I want to lock my breaks up and jerk the tailgater out of their car and pummel them.
