The bus contained coaches and members of the Legacy High School football team. They had just returned from the game in california. That bus made an unexplained return to the terminal after picking up the players. The bus would not have made it under the level for overhang. So could that be why the driver turned off the road . Conceivable. Its hard for me to conclude that because again, we had witnesses on board the bus who indicated that there was no effort to stop emergency braking. Reporter i spoke to the today.
