I lived in Fitzgerald for years and that's where my Father was born. Fitzgerald has suffered economic decline in recent years and looks like a mini Detroit Downtown.

I guess they overlooked you.

It's hard to say, but from the video, it doesn't appear to be an area with blind hills or turns. And there is no mention of fog or smoke or rain or snow, so perhaps driver-inattention blame makes at least a little sense in that scenario.
Texting, or reading a map, or picking up a burrito he dropped, or driving while fatigued .... does it make any difference? It's all inattentive driving no matter how you look at it.SHO-TYME Thanks this. -
42 kids on the bus when it was struck, plus one kid came close to getting killed (according to the news report). This one is gonna hurt JB Hunt pretty badly, especially after the WalMart case in Jersey. I can just hear the lawyers salivating......

Sad to say, but these same or very similar events happen several times each year across the nation with relatively few consequences. It's not like this was a premeditated action of the driver, or JB Hunt management told the driver to hit the bus.
