Another alcohol-related accident: truck hits school bus.

Beer trucks, at least in my area are probably the worst MFFY-type
drivers in the trucking industry.  Granted, this wreck may have been
the bus driver's fault, but I've had enough close calls with beer
trucks to keep my eyes peeled.  The citiation will probably go to the
bus driver since it did happen a few miles from Crooksville, MO.

I wouldn't put it past the cops to find some way to ticket both drivers.
BTW, what brand of piss-water was the truck hauling?

Article says nothing about booze, you nitwit. Appears to be another
case of a bus driver just assuming the traffic will slow down for him.
Happens every day.

Read the article again...the truck was hauling BEER!  I've driven that
route several times over the years; the intersection in the article
happens to be in a stretch of US 63 that is posted 45 mph.  It would be
likely that the beer truck driver was speeding (I'm surprised you
didn't bring that up).  You know beer truck drivers; they just HAVE to
make their deliveries so other people can get wasted and risk DUI.
