[LINKHOTNESS] Emergency personnel work at the scene of a bus crash Thursday in Fresno, California.

The bus apparently struck an overturned SUV that was in the highway's fast lane, then possibly struck a second vehicle before traveling down an embankment and slamming into a large eucalyptus tree, Arnold said. "We're still trying to piece everything together," he told reporters. Authorities believe at least one of the people who died was a person in the overturned SUV

:2 cents: :(

Damn, not good at all.


Saw the aftermath of a car crash on Sunday when i was out driving. Never a nice thing to see. Still not sure if anyone died at it. I'd be amazed if they didn't...

damn thats some sad shit.

Britain soon will make 1000 mph fastest car
Hopefully the car will not mar

OMG how sad!

hwy 99 near fresno can be pretty treacherous.
sometimes the fog is so heavy you might have 5ft visibily, enough to see the front end of your car.

just lucky no koala bears were killed...

That sounds really bad, never experienced something like it!

Not likely to be any fog in the summertime, although in the winter when the Tule Fog http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tule_fog rolls in you sometime can't see anything in front of you.

I grew up near Bakersfield and driving at night during the winter could be interesting.
I lived away from town and all the streetlights, and many is the time I remember having to drive with my door open so I could look down and watch the white line, it was the only way to be sure you were still on the road. :upsidedow


As for Hwy 99 being treacherous it's a lot safer than it was when I was a kid, back then it still had cross streets and the farmers would move their farm equipment on it :warning

wow thats crazy

A greyhound bus? Those guys drive crazy fast, says it was in the fast lane, I don't think they belong their, I can't remember if thats a 2 lane or bigger thru there, I want to say it's bigger, I have a sister in Selma, very close

The cops showed up and tasered everybody?

How do you think 6 people ended up dead?

Now I'm pissed....I'm going to burn my neighborhood down :mad:

Very Sad,
They were all probably sleeping too. 2:15 am. Sucks.

Yeah... let's teach Foot Locker a lesson! :mad:
