I know this driver and he should not have been driving that bus that day or any day, the kids said that he was reasing something and was looking down, you have to be paying attention to the road especailly when your driving a school bus loaded with kids, he was not paying attention or this accident would have not happen.

Naturally people will blame the driver which it probably was him swirving to miss hitting something but as the police said already they checked his background and there is nothing wrong with him so you people that think he is crazy or drives like crap need to get your facts straight before you acuse someone of something. There was no reason why he couldnt be driving that bus and the state, police and first student all told you that. Most likely the cause of this whole thing was he was swerving to avoid hitting something but that is it. They have already said there is nothing wrong with his record or the bus so thats all thats left. You people should just be thankful nobody was seriously hurt.

To anonymous at 1:06 pm. To quote the post you are saying is blatantly wrong, try re-reading the statement, it reads that cars affect wind, not that it was windy. As it states, have you never driven past an 18 wheeler and felt it shake your car? That is called a slip stream, jet stream, wind current, either way it is the wind being disrupted by something pushing against it, and knowing Newton's laws, every action has an equal and opposite reaction, a push results in a push. Your anger is unnecessary to these comments as we're discussing the wreck not the character of the comments. Trolling is unnecessary and it seems that KXII should screen comments like this.

The driver of that bus is a great christian man. Anyone who knew him would make him their first choice on the list to drive their kids around.

I'm sorry but evidently previous poster needs to learn physics, and has never driven past an 18 wheeler. Cars affect the wind. Wind pushes on things. Pretty simple, so yes vehicles impact other vehicles on the road. If not that there's human error, if the other driver was drifting into the bus' lane then the bus might have swerved, simple explanations that don't require hateful words.

You officials need to stop making up stories like whether or not a car taht was passing the bus on the bridge at the time could have had an effect on the accident whatever!!! Do something about the driver, he is lieing to you all, he is crazy and should have never been behind the wheel of that bus
