While Monday's collision between a school bus and tractor-trailer rig did not involve illegal passing, it calls attention to the fact that a vast number of drivers do not obey laws regarding school bus safety. The man driving the 18-wheeler told state troopers he saw the bus stopped at the train tracks, with its amber lights flashing, as required by state law, but he thought the bus had started moving again. The crash occurred around 6:10 a.m. Monday near Highway 301 on Veteran's Memorial Parkway.
