    Took a second. Google news search. "bus, wreck" were the key words used.




    Some times search results are easy to find...... some times not.

    That bridge is narrow. Not that passing is hard but. If you sneeze while passing someone it be scary. Its also a very busy highway. Sad to see this in my neck of the woods.

    Looks like the bridge is not wide at all

    Sounds like the second bus was way to close to the first one if there was more room the 2nd could of stoped as well as the truck driver could of done more as well the 3nd bus was following way to close

    i see busses all the time on the way to games bumper to bumper i called one time about it they said that they do this to keep drivers from geting in the middle of the convoy

    Sideswiping the bus is one thing it could of happen to anyone of use but when a vehicle is following to close to the vehicle in front there is no room for error
