Driver on this bus was from China; he could not speak nor read English.

He sped through a work zone tat a high rate of speed; 5 are dead, another 34 injured, several critically (bus also crashed into several other vehicles; driver is charged with involuntary manslaughter)

Cannot fathom HOW a driver who CANNOT READ or SPEAK English gets hus license, and then gets behind the wheel of a loaded bus, TOTALLY IGNORANT of traffic/road signs.

This was a tragedy that DID NOT have to happen........something is SERIOUSLY wrong, somewhere.

My sympathies to those who lost loved ones......

Just heard on the news that one of the vehicles hit by the speeding bus was carrying a family to a wedding (all were killed); I cannot even begin to fathom how the rest of the family dealt with such an unheard-of,vrushing tragedy.

What a heartbreaking, sad, senseless waste.....

Update:

Driver of the involved bus was from Staten Island.

So many are totally puzzled as to how such a senseless,heart-wrenching tragedy was allowed to happen.

The NTSB is currently conducting a very intense investigation.............
