That is pretty horrible news. Bad day at school and home for many.

If it hadn't been a gravel truck I'm sure any injuries would have been pretty minor. I don't think that school buses are really that unsafe though. They're huge, they're high up, they're very visible and if they're involved in an accident with anything but a gravel truck or equivalent they're going to do ok. At least they don't get crammed to capacity with people standing squished together in the aisles like city buses do. This just sounds like an awful accident, where the two vehicles involved were bound to result in something pretty bad. It's sad.
