I'm with 4X4 on this one... he was an effing idtiot. Period. Going 90 on a gravel snow covered road is dumb... 70 when snow covered is even too much.
Not long ago when he got his learners, he should have read page 127 in the Basic Drivers Handbook shown here:

It's a shame be probable skipped this part:

Once the bus comes to a stop to load or unload students, its alternating flashing red lights will come on. You may also see a stop sign extended from the left-hand side of the bus. You must come to a complete stop before you reach the school bus.

"Didn't see the lights" and
"Brandon’s siblings had both crossed the road for the bus but he stopped at the edge of the road having apparently seen the car speeding up behind the bus." That just tops it all off right there. Throw the book at him and hard. I wonder what kind of vehicle he was driving.
