No idea what actually happened but it’s easy to miss the yield sign.

Although it’s flat and clear in all four directions, it’s also a tricky intersection because there isn’t enough room in the median for larger vehicles to stop safely.
The bold part is very similar to the Humboldt bus tragedy where the driver of the semi-truck had failed to yield at a flashing stop sign and obliterated the bus.
