“According to the police report, he was heading into a blind curve and hit an SUV when he crossed over into the oncoming lane to maneuver the bus around the bend.”
Perhaps I am hallucinating, but I imagine a school bus takes just about the same route every day. Every_single_day. So, OK, the blind curve was equivalently blind on every one of the 40+ school days driven so far.
Secondly, any such “blind curve” is on a fairly quiet residential street; not a 45-50 mph semi-thoroughfare. I have heard reports that this bus was split in half by the collision. He must have been ripping in that thing.
Prosecuting the guy isn’t going to bring the dead children back, but I kind of doubt the injuries & deaths would have been so bad if he wasn’t going awfully fast.
You are mixing two discrete events.
The one where he hit an SUV was a couple of months ago.
The one where he almost split the bus in half is the recent on where children were killed.
Hit a mail box first.
