"At least 2 die in school bus crash on Indianapolis' Southeast side" (Indianapolis Star)
So, there was a school bus crash in Indianapolis this morning. A bus ran into a bridge abutment at 7:45 AM. A student was killed along with the driver so we will never know exactly what happened but I was struck by the photos in the article. Even though the photos were taken after the accident at the time many rescue vehicles had gotten there, I wonder if visibility had a role.
Here we have the first day after DST and a school bus, driving the same route as always I assume, hits a bridge abutment. Curiously, one of the injured students was initially reported to be lodged against the bus's front wheel.
It is too early to tell but I suspect visibility. If it turns out to be a heart attack or substance abuse with respect to the driver, that would likely rule out visibility.
Even if you support DST, recall that in the last few years, some lawmakers in Washington decided it was a good idea to move up the date for DST by some 2-3 weeks. This is the kind of thing that makes the House and Senate two of our most dangerous organizations.
