    I don't think that one did. The one tractor is sandwitched really badly. The other is interesting.

    I see it as a horrible jenga game.

    Also... don't those buses build hatches in the roof and all windows can be kicked away? Why just the one in the middle. Its a mess.

    One time we had two lanes off I-695 south to I-95 West at SW Baltimore where it merges into one lane then 5 main lanes then 4 relatively quickly.

    One day a gas tanker with a group of other trucks all tried to go through the same doorframe together. Got stuck. Got into bumpity bump then tanker blew up. The fires and damage etc require the road way to be replaced when it was finally cleaned up. Everyone was in rush hour full of cars nose to tail intent on DC at any cost before 8 Am Etc.

    Blew off his wind thingys off the back too.
    Man, they must have been going so fast, and when the bus driver rolled it, it must have been right in front of FedEx.
    I mean, FedEx doing 65, bus doing 65, bus hits wall, FedEx is passing, and then BOOM.
    Wow man.

    You missed a few steps, that one report said bus hit embankment, then wall, flipped. Look at the front that bus, that's not just from hitting the wall.
    By the way, if you think that bus was only going 65, ..downhill, ... I'll give you a dollar.
     
    Bud A. and x1Heavy Thank this.

    You just have to feel sorry for everyone involved, drivers and passengers,
    flopping over in the road, and being slammed 3 times by tractor trailers.

    What's with the center divider; did they remove it or did wreck take it out?
     
    Bud A., x1Heavy and Cabinover101 Thank this.

    Don't think the bus rolled down the embankment, think it slammed the embankment then richocheted back over to the inside wall and flipped on its side somewhere in the mix.
    . Given that was dark something in the morning, with possible light fog, and it was around a curve, the following light traffic probably didn't see it happening

    This one should be pretty easy to put together to as there should be at least 3 drivecamera videos.

    I run that road every week and it’s a bad stretch especially in the winter.You better be alert around them curves through there cause there’s no room for error.
