Assuming at the time of impact. Which also (likely) means the bus was travelling faster than that prior to braking. That may or may not be relevant.
Also:
The car behind the bus is fortunate not to have suffered the same fate. 5 car lengths seems very close, at highway speed that would mean the car was following less than one second behind.
The other car that was stopped would have had a horrific view of the entire event. It's also fortunate this vehicle was not struck by anything.
