The bus was new..second time it was rented.
Maybe they bought the bus used? Also, the regular driver did not drive it. The company owner did. Maybe he did not know what he was doing.
I hope there is not too much correlation with a crash and 666 on a license plate. My nephew is going to be getting married in a church with a street address of 666. I’m just going to blithely assume that it does not have a greater divorce rate per marriages performed than churches with different street addresses.
