Did the bus driver fall asleep? Sometimes they do when they push too hard—drive just too long.

Could be. But it happened at 5:40 PM and was a FedEx truck. Their drivers have an impeccable safety record.

The pictures I’ve seen on breaking news make it clear the Fed Ex driver drove over the median striking the bus. It didn’t look like the bus driver had time to do anything. You have to wonder about a health problem in the Fed Ex driver. Horrible tragedy, our prayers for the passengers and their families and anyone else affected.

That's what I wondered, until I read it was UPS. IMHO, their driving conditions are less likely than some others to induce sleep while driving.

It looks to me like there have been some updates since this thread was posted. I wonder if this is a new addition, or maybe you overlooked it.

Investigators say the truck driver might have been trying to avoid a passenger car that was also involved in the crash, which shut down north- and south-bound traffic on the freeway.
