Heard about this on the news this morning, So Sad, Prayers for all of the victims, their families and friends, lives will be forever changed.
Sadly in the fire service I've worked fatality accidents involving strangers, friends, neighbors, but luckily no family members.
Looking at the bent frame rail on the front trailer indicates the bus t-boned the truck in that location, had the truck been traveling slow or turning the front of the bus would have been crushed back.
The fact that the front of the bus is sheared off and the left side panel bent out indicates the truck was traveling at faster speed making me think it was going straight thru the intersection, this leads me to think the truck blew through the stop.
Not sure about Canadian policy but US rules require the driver be taken the a medical facility to be checked for injuries, while there he would be been given a breathalyzer test and had blood drawn the test for alcohol and drugs. If no evidence of DUI at that time he would have been released until blood test were concluded and or accident investigation was complete, if found at fault he would then be charged.
Having spent 30 years as a over the road driver I hate to see accidents like this involving trucks, but I will not try to defend the drivers actions if he is at fault, in this case to me it looks like he is.
I was involved in a serious accident back in 99 that left a young man permanently disabled, not my fault but that hasn't stopped me from living the accident over a thousand times in my mind, can not imagine how I would have felt had it been my fault.
