    The driver of the Trailblazer which caused the accident was DUI and 18. The greyhound driver was a 32 year veteran driver with no accidents.

    Please don't drink and drive!

    Ever notice how, even when the professional driver is not at fault but merely involved, it is called a "Bus Crash" or "Truck Crash" rather than a "Drunk Driver Crash".....or am I missing something? Doesn't that headline make it seem like the pro was at fault?

    Yes, it does...

    I think the worst one was the one in our local paper "Ticketed Bus Driver crashes Greyhound Bus."
