  1. Just my opinion, but I drove school busses for over 14 years, that bus did not roll over even once. The roof as well as the mirrors would look lot different. Plan and simply, a unfortunate accident. The driver has meny sleeplessness nights ahead as well as tough days. Glad no one was seriously hurt.
