Not a Good Week for Bus Drivers

There have 2 accidents with fatalities this week envoling school buses. One in Tucson and one in Paradise Valley. The one in P.V. involved 2 teenage brothers. They were 16 and 17. The 17 year old driver was killed instantly. His brother was in the car for 5 hours and died later at the hospital. The car t-boned the busThey had to bring in a crane to lift the bus off of the car.  Not sure exactly who is more at fault. The cars was estimated as going 90 MPH. The was making  left hand turn. Man I would not want to have to call this one. Okay speeding and turning in front of another vehicle. Would it have happened if the car was doing the speed limit? Did the bus driver misjudge the speed of the vehicle (speed limit was 45)? Was the bus driver not paying enough attention? Who knows, but some family is without their 2 sons. My heart goes out to them. Also to the bus driver. That would be a hard thing to live with.




The second crash in Tucson was what I am calling suicide by school bus. Watch the video and judge for yourself. Go to abc 15 (link below) and look for Video shows moment of impact in deadly Tucson crash (WARNING: Graphic video)
