Exactly where do you get an idea that the bus driver was at fault in this? The article is pretty clear - the truck involved blew a tire, crossed the center and hit the bus... If anything, the fault would fall squarely on the driver of the truck for failure to maintain control of his vehicle. A blown tire, alone, shouldn’t cause a driver to lose control unless there’s more to the story. I’ve had tires blow out - no accident (yet).
Speed limit on I40 in that neck of the woods in 75 mph. If the truck driver was doing that or more, I doubt he had a hope in heck of maintaining control of that semi.
I had a front tire blow on an old uhaul style RV. The ones with a van cab where the RV box goes up over the cab. 1979 Dodge and this was several years ago. Made a big boom and pulled to one side a little.
The truck driver went to sleep and crossed the median. The wreck was so total, the tires were destroyed.
IMO
I traveled on I 40 yesterday and there lots of destroyed guard rails from out of control trucks.
