    That’s what it looks like to me. Also, judging by the pictures it doesn’t look like the truck impacted the bus all that hard considering where the steer axle is. I suspect that it looks as bad as it does because of fire and amount of fuel involved.

    I have my theory of what happened but I don’t want to add it out of respect for all involved.

    It sure doesn’t get any easier seeing these tragedies no matter how long we’ve all been on the road.

    Personally I’ve seen enough and really want to retire from OTR before I end up in one of these life ending events.

    in fact, i got a notice a few weeks ago, that my name is on the jury call list up until June of 2024.

    if i get called, and then get interviewed by the prosecutor and defense about guilt or innocence..??

    i'm gonna be honest and say, "well cops don't arrest innocent people"...

    and i can assure anyone, it won't be my vote that sets a guilty person free.

    i'm sick and tired of the whole "woke" Bullcrap, , or being passive on crime and criminals.

    If ever my fate of death or freedom is at the hands of a Jury.. I can only hope that they weren’t solely influenced by a single picture.

    You’ve already sentenced the driver to the electric chair over one picture.

    he was "in charge", the "captain of his ship", he is 1000% at fault for rear-ending another vehicle.

    "The motorcoach (carrying students) was traveling westbound on I-70 near Etna. Behind the motorcoach was an SUV carrying passengers that were traveling with the group in the motorcoach,” she said. “They had approached a traffic queue that resulted from an earlier crash on I-70, and a tractor-trailer approached behind the SUV.”

    I think it is clear what happened now.
