my thoughts and prayers are with those who were injured in this accident but the fact is the trucker had ALL BACKUP LIGHTS ON!!!and was trying to back into his driveway when the bus driver slammed into him.does anyone care care to know how the truck driver is doing? once again ALL LIGHTS WERE ON THAT'S A FACT!!!

My dad and stepmom were two of the most seriously hurt in this accident. They air-lifted dad to Greenville and my stepmom to Richmond,Virginia. They both could have been killed. They were both sitting behind the driver where the truck had struck the bus. This is not a discussion about how people come down hard on truck drivers. The simple fact is the truck driver had NO BACKUP LIGHTS! My dad said this through the morphine slurs. No one including the bus driver even knew the truck driver was backing up. No lights, no turn signals, nothing! He backed right into their lane right in front of the bus! My dad is seriously injured with multiple injuries and almost bled to death from a compound fracture. My step mom is also seriously injured with mutltiple broken bones: collar, shoulder, 6 ribs. The police should have made this a more serious violation. Now my parents have to face a long difficult road to recovery and can't even take care of themselves due to the extensive injuries.

I've seen plently of accidents where troopers didn't ticket anyone.

I'm a driver myself. what is improper backing? some how its always the trucker getting the ticket.

Troopers always ticket someone for an accident. Doesn't mean it's all their fault, nor does it mean that the truck driver will be found to be liable for all damages and injuries.. Insurance companies and the courts determine that, not police..
