    Video quality is very poor, looks like a tan KW T660 to me, cant even tell whether it is a Aero Or Studio Sleeper.

    I'm literally shaking right now I'm so pissed. What kind of idiot does that? I went back and rewatched the video and I noticed that when the bus is stopped there's not even any oncoming traffic for a good ways... If you're in that #### big of a hurry and that intent on breaking the law why not go left instead of the shoulder? Not that that's ok either. I'm with Tucker on this one I hope they find this guy and if not shoot him at least beat him badly enough he won't be driving a truck again anytime soon.

    http://www.kttc.com/story/25684033/...i-that-nearly-hit-girl-waiting-for-school-bus

    PAYNESVILLE, Minn. (KTTC) -- The Minnesota State Patrol is seeking the public's help in finding a semi that nearly hit a girl waiting for her school bus alongside the highway.

    The State Patrol says the incident happened on May 30, when a semi illegally passed a stopped school bus on Highway 23 near Paynesville and New London.

    Cameras inside the bus show the semi blowing past the stopped bus — lights flashing and stop arm down — and continue along the highway.

    The State Patrol says the girl and bus driver were not hurt. Anyone with information is asked to call Minnesota State Patrol Lt. Brian Reu at 651-405-6047.
