Witness the headline on this bus accident in California over the weekend:
Driver Fatigue May Be Behind Bush Crash
From Associated Press November 28, 2005 8:29 AM EST
SANTA MARIA, Calif. - A Greyhound bus drifted off a freeway, rolled and then slid at least 100 yards on its side before hitting a tree Sunday, killing a pregnant woman and another passenger, authorities said.
Officials said driver fatigue may have contributed to the crash. The previous night, the driver had traveled from Fresno to Los Angeles, then left Los Angeles shortly after 3 a.m. Sunday. He had been on the road for about four hours when the bus overturned.
Dozens of passengers among the 44 people aboard the San Francisco-bound bus were hurt, at least seven of them with major injuries.
Rescuers had to use hydraulic equipment to cut away seats and the metal frame of the bus to reach four of the survivors, authorities said.

There's more to this sad story, but it was the headline that got me. I already knew about the Greyhound story, and thought something happened in a Bush motorcade or something. What can I say? I'm :evilgrin:
