if you look at the pics on page 13,bottom two..the car went over the double yellow into the buses path,they hit headon,bus riding up on the top of the car,both ripping the front of the top from the A pillars and then crushing from the B pillars back..if seems the bus driver may have backed the bus up off the car,no heavy wrecker at scene,and FDs bags couldnt lift it off and straight back.looking st the scene pics,,you see the skid marks from the car crossing the centerline, the impact site and then how the impact with the bus shoved the car back to where it sits,the bus may have rolled off..but i doubt it.you can see the FD cutting off the top in some pics,or the one..and i say 7 people/bodies,3 infront,3 in the back,with a baby in the front centers lap maybe?.seems the baby is on top of the young girl who seems to have been front center.i also believe that the woman who was decapitated was so due to the angle of the impact.
who knows..i may be totally off..but i dont think so.think im pretty close.
i think you're right...i didn't see the skid marks before....i wonder if it was too much speed around that bend, a distracted driver drifting over the line or a mechanical issue....i suppose we'll never know, and probably won't care in two minutes....
does anyone else think the shape of mini-vans is particulartly dangerous? i mean, they're shaped like a wedge and pretty much destined to wedge themselves under anything they hit.... this bus wasn't even a tall vehicle
