I don't know for sure, but I don't think even an inexperienced bus driver could be that far out of her lane without realizing it. I think that there likely was some other factor at work, whether that was inattention, surrounding traffic, distractions from the kids, or a message on the CB radio. As I said, though, I don't think lighting conditions could have been one of those factors.
I'm not arguing with you or anything...just giving some of my impressions.

I don't mean the sun was right in front of her. It was on the lateral horizon though, and it was mildly distracting. I know because it was annoying ME!
And the damage to the front of the bus is from the pole AFTER it swiped the truck, not the truck itself. It hit that pole going 70+ kmph. It may have been more than 3 inches but not much more.
The truck itself looked comparatively untouched.
