Very sad :(
Prayers up!
Seems the point of impact w the light pole would have been most life threatening.
I live down the road from this and I would think that the 80,000 pound tri-axle dump truck full of concrete that put the Bus against the pole played a role in the point of impact. (the speed limit is 45 in the area but they often go faster) There is going to be more unfortunate news on this one....
