They just had another report on the news. It said the bus couldn't negotiate the turn and flipped over. Two tractor trailers hot it and a third tractor trailer hit them.He's heard that the team drivers are ok, but they're waiting for more info.

That stretch of the Turnpike can be wicked. It goes over the highest mountain ridge in the state and is long and steep right where this happened. The worst weather I've ever driven in in my life was on this stretch Valentine's Day 2015 shuttling air. I'll never forget it. It rained all day yesterday then the temperature dropped and turned to snow last night. Doesn't help that people drive like ass bags on the Turnpike. Throw a little black ice on the mountain and you're asking for a disaster.
friend* that.Jan 2016 I was stuck on the TP at New Baltimore for 13hrs heading west.
It looks like the bus was the first harmful event and the two UPS trucks were trying to add steering input to avoid the crash. After looking at the skid and yaw marks, the crush damage to the bus, and the FedX tractor, and the body directly across from the back of the FedX 5th wheel, I'd guess our guys in the middle truck were some of the ones killed along with the bus driver.About half way through this you can see the back of the sleeper tractor is gone and a mattress is on the pavement. The front of the tour bus is absolutely destroyed as well. Very sad.
I would normally agree but that bus had a significant amount of minorsIt sucks that 5 died, but if it was the tour bus fault, hopefully all dead are on the bus and not one of our guys.
Air, u missed page 3...I would normally agree but that bus had a significant amount of minors
I hope our brother(s) are ok
Unfortunately, that's been confirmed. Both HARPA drivers were killed. Very sad news. The pup was out of Willow Grove and those drivers are ok.Just read on another page that 2 HARPA drivers died in this.

I remember one night finishing up my route I drove over a bridge that crosses the Turnpike and it was closed down for something. Looked like a gridlock as far as I could see. To hell with that.I went to college in eastern Ohio, right across the river, and had to take the turnpike home. It always amazed me how recklessly people drove. At least twice a year going home for break I'd get stuck in some major accident-related traffic jam, usually somewhere near the Lehigh Valley Tunnel.
Wow. RIPUnfortunately, that's been confirmed. Both HARPA drivers were killed. Very sad news. The pup was out of Willow Grove and those drivers are ok.
