The accident apparently happened at 0815. I looks to me like this driver was driving through the night with his passengers and fell asleep at the wheel, causing the accident. A similar accident happened to a church bus near Memphis, TN a few years ago with many fatalities.

Too bad Tim Kaine closed the rest areas. Maybe the driver could have gotten a nap.

True. However, there’s always my emergency solution: get off any where ther’s a large, lighted parking lot and use it. A sleep deprivation situation like that is definitely a matter of life and eath.

You know, I get your point.

But there are still places on I-85 where the driver could have stopped. Plus, since this was a tour bus, it’s likely they were driving to reach another event.
