    If you can see a problem, find a good stop and sleep the night while they clean that mess and cart the dead and wounded.

    Someone screwed up and badly. I don't depend on the media to accurately describe the situation.

    That's 2 times now you've clicked on the same accident. If you you don't want to see it don't look. Am I missing something? Seems so obvious.

    That’s interesting, because had the bus left the roadway and struck a truck parked in a rest area they would have spun it to place the fault on the truck.

    Well, if a tractor trailer crossed over into the path of the bus did the bus not crash into a tractor trailer? That statement doesn't indicate where the fault lies, just what happened.

    No different than the many times they say a truck hit a car when the car was where it shouldn't have been.

    The article says truck blew steer tire. That's a quote from the truck driver.

    Right. If he had fudged somewhere, the two would not have been in the same space at that moment.
