The Indiana driver who recently killed three children says she didn’t know there was a school bus in front of her
This is a photo from the crash site. I’d say it’s pretty obvious that it’s a school bus. I wonder if the driver who killed three children was texting while driving.

This next photo is also from the crash site. This is the truck that the driver used to kill three children. The truck did not crash into another vehicle. Instead, all of the dents and other damage in the front of the truck are from driving into the children. Imagine what this must have done to their bodies.

I would wait until more information comes out.
She may have been drowsy, she may have been mentally distracted and just had a brain cramp. If she was texting though, I view that the same as drunk driving.
For her sake, I hope it isn’t that. Can’t do much for the kids or their families now.
If it was only a few minutes after sunrise, it wouldn’t be completely dark I would think...it would be nearly completely light IMO.
I can think of additional things, windshield fogged or iced and not clear (who of us hasn’t driven like that) and so on.
