    This an ugly one. Unsettling seeing a bus on it's side like that. This isn't some whiteout nonsense, 3:30 am, bus driver took an unscheduled nap, and took several trucks with them. Going to happen, can't have zero risk.

    That area of the turnpike is narrow, curvy, with lots of crazy drivers.

    I traveled that area last night few hours before the accident. It was getting foggy but there was no snow.

    Snow was reported in the area at the time. Temps were dropping since last night and rain changed to snow around night fall. Could have been black ice, icy spots, medical condition, who knows.

    It’s a Chinatown bus, 2 UPS and a FedEx; anyone’s guess who was at fault. Regardless bad situation with the fatalities, especially with kids involved

    Not to mention that portion has a few downgrades heading westbound that don’t leave room for error. Throw icing conditions into the mix and you have a recipe for disaster.
