Commentary:
Based on the information provided in the news article, it paints the driver of the motorcycle as the one who may be responsible for the accident, but it’s never a good idea to base these kind of opinions on a news article written by somebody who did not witness the accident. There could be any number of factors that we have no clue about, most importantly of which being the speed of the bus. Speed can be a very difficult thing to gauge when the vehicle is coming toward you. If the bus was speeding and the motorcycle made the turn thinking he was driving at an appropriate speed. These kind of accidents are very common with speeding vehicles. I cannot claim to know what happened, but making a judgment call based on a very incomplete article would be unwise.
