I can’t imagine the horror of dying or losing a loved one this way. May all their memories be blessings for their families.

Awful. Sounds eerily similar to the Humboldt crash a few years ago. Semi blew a stop sign in a rural area and destroyed a bus carrying a junior hockey team. Many kids and a few adults died there.

This article mentions it was near a crossing... I wouldn't be surprised if someone missed a stop here too.
