I read the first paragraph;

TOWN OF JUNIUS, NY -- One person is dead and thirty people have been injured after a tractor-trailer loaded with auto parts rear-ended a bus on the New York State Thruway overnight.

and said to myself "Well, at least this time it wasn't the bus driver's fault".

Then I read a little further down;

Eyewitnesses tell police the bus had been stopped on the shoulder and was attempting to re-enter the eastbound lanes when it was struck by the truck.

Damn.

We were southbound I-35 this afternoon at the OK Texas line and tootling along at about 65. It was 100 degree and we were pulling some pony's and trying to prevent any unnecessary heat related problems. We were blown off the road by a charter loaded with passangers with a flat on the drives probably running close to 80 so close to the car in front of him the driver could probably barley see its rear bumper.

If I were on that bus as a passanger I would have asked the driver to pull over so I could get out and filed suit against the charter for mental duress.

The bus driver having a suspended New York license probably does not help his cause either.
