Fatal crash-car meets bus at side of the road

State Trooper Davis Areas, a 19-year veteran, also won't soon forget his interview of the man driving the car that slammed into the rear of the large motor coach carrying members of a band.  The collision killed the man's wife of 49 years. I asked him twice at the hospital and he said, "I never saw your car.  I saw the bus but not your squad car." Arras said "he felt so bad", he knew what had happened. It was awful..

"What are people doing that they don't see a stopped bus, a stopped squad car or fire truck along the road? What are they engaged in , other than driving?  That's a legitmate question,"Capt. Jeff Frenette of the State Patrol's Northwest Regon said.

There are so many things going on in vehicles now that many drivers are not driving, they're operating a vehicle of thousands of pounds at a hight rate of speed. "They might be talking, texting, using a cell phone, tuning the radio, looking for something in the vehicle, eating or other things. They all take away from the job of driving.
