[quote] GRAY SUMMIT, Mo — Missouri state troopers say the two people killed in a chain-reaction freeway accident involving a tractor trailer cab, two school buses and a pickup truck were a girl on one of the buses and the driver of the pickup. Authorities say the buses were taking the high school band members from St. James to a Six Flags amusement park when the collision on Interstate 44 west of St. Louis occurred. The Missouri State Highway Patrol says the pickup truck slammed into the back of the tractor, which had slowed for traffic near a construction zone near Gray Summit west of St. Louis. The bus carrying the girl then struck the pickup from behind and was rear-ended by the other bus. Dozens of children were taken to area hospitals, mostly with injuries not considered life-threatening. NBC station KSKD in St. Louis reported 54 children were on the buses. Aerial footage of the wreckage showed the front end of one of the yellow school buses perched atop the back of the gray semi rig's cab. The second bus had smashed into a rear corner of the first bus. Firefighters were hosing down the mangled debris. Metal ladders provided access to the buses' windows. [/quote] [URL]http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/38577436/ns/us_news-life/?gt1=43001[/URL] Holy shit.

It was a Volvo truck, maybe it's related to this? [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6ZwS9izm4E[/media]
Doesn't that suggest they were either driving way to fast, or way to close to be able to stop in time to avoid the accident though? Sad for the girls family :frown:
Those buses are built to withstand this kind of stuff, it's amazing a girl actually died. Judging by the images though, I can understand how..
