Wow! I'm surprised she didn't get decapitated. Glad no loss of life.

I've always commented on the fact that big rigs have to have a bar to prevent this but not school buses. Case in point, yikes.

Two reasons:

1. She's a SHE. And we all know they can't drive.

2. She's OLD. And we all know they can't drive.

From what I read in the comments section of the story the bus was at fault. A person 4 cars back said it was raining and foggy and the bus turned right on a red light right in front of the Stang. My 68 year old aunt drives a Stang vert, as well as my 65 year old sister. Not old fogies by any means. They're much safer drivers than any 20 something female tethered to her phone.

Some of you people might just want to dig a little deeper into the facts of something instead of being judgemental smart asses.
