The bus was carrying 51 people, two drivers and 49 Polish nationals It sounds like the bus drivers were not Polish nationals, which leads to questions about why locals were not aware of the restrictions. I'm sure there will be much more to report on after the tragedy is dealt with.

No, according to the Polish media both drivers were Polish nationals too.

This particular descent on the motorway between Grenoble and Gap has long been considered dangerous and is off-limits for buses without special authorisation, a local official told France-Info.
According to the official, the Polish bus had not received authorization to travel on the motorway. The ban was imposed after a bus carrying Belgian tourists crashed in the same spot in 1973, killing 43 people.

Deeply saddened. Prayers for comfort for the families and friends that are mourning the losses. Prayers for those who witnessed the tragedy. Prayers for those who had to take care of the whole wreckage. A tragic reminder of the brevity of life and that none of knows the number of our days. How are we living out life?
