    Yeah, I don't think that commercial drivers are the problem here. Geez!

    Sad.

    How in the world do TWO school busses end up rear-ending a separate rear-ender accident?

    fail/fail/fail.

    Texting and driving aint cool.

    But looking at those pictures, something tells me those buses were going to roll over the top of that pickup whether he hit the truck or not.

    Wait a minute... The texting driver rear ended the truck, but 2, yes 2 school busses rear ended them. Were the bus drivers both texting also. How can they blame the pickup driver for the pileup with 2, count them 2, school busses rear ended them?

    Yeah, good question. I guess, maybe the bobtail may not have stopped right there if he hadn't been rear-ended? Or was he stopped for traffic already?

    As usual, not enough facts reported...

    The report is biased against texting. Another example of media with an agenda.

    Let's not forget the lives lost, and pray for the families.
