Probably more payback in suing Toyota than a teenage driver.
There's been some talk of litigation but I hope it doesn't come to that, naive as that may sound. The bus service was contracted, the school district no doubt has immunities under the law and I suspect it would be hard to argue that the accident was reasonably foreseeable by anyone.
Time will tell. Alabama law allows plaintiffs' lawyers to advertise on TV so they're easy to find.
The car is 17 years old. Think any reasonable jury would hold toyota culpable in any way?
