Police are still trying to determine the cause of the accident.
Commentary:
The news article paints a pretty clear picture of fault on the part of the driver of the car, but lets look at this accident from a fresh perspective. If the article is correct, and the car was turning at the time of the accident, I would be curious to know if the bus was speeding at the time of the crash. What makes me think this? Because you’d have to try pretty hard to not see a bus on the road before a turn. What is more likely is that the driver saw the bus when they were turning, and assumed they had enough time and distance to make the turn. If the bus were speeding, it may have thrown off the timing of the turn and caused the accident.
