If you watch the video the news anchor claims that it was a 3 vehicle accident... right as the camera is panning across the scene and showing that there were 4 vehicles involved. 2 fatalities, and I'm guessing that both were from the car that was crushed by the bus as it launched on top of the truck.
Ludicrous gibs!

    That car looks like it was ramed from the first bus and then the second bus hit the first bus right after..

    Probably the driver of the first bus wasn't being causious and ran up on a stalled lane of traffic.

    Tragic.:(
    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

    From the article:

    <i>The Missouri State Highway Patrol says the pickup truck slammed into the back of the tractor, which had slowed for traffic near a construction zone near Gray Summit west of St. Louis.

    The bus carrying the girl then struck the pickup from behind and was rear-ended by the other bus. </i>

    Wow. Just really sad to see things like this happen. Prayers to the others to heal fast and prayers to the families that lost someone due to this.

    They updated the article since I originally linked to it. That info was not in it earlier.

    I feel bad for these kids... even if their physical injuries were not bad, they were involved in an accident that took the life of a classmate... The mental injuries will last a long time.

    All three vehicles were at fault, the driver of the pickup that wasn't paying attention to the semi that had slowed for traffic. The drivers of both buses that were also not paying attention and following to close...
