Jeez too many flying objects landing on school busses. I can see the need for the govt to bring back homeschooling.

The truck falls in front of the bus, and it is the cement mixer part that rolls off and hits the front of the bus.

I never knew cement trucks were that unstable. I don't know the exact speed of the cement truck, but if the car in front of the cement truck was not speeding, the cement truck seemed to be going approximately the same speed as the car in front of it. It didn't seem like the driver of the cement truck did an extreme turn, seemed like the cement truck was gradually turning to follow the road.
But yet at that speed, and at that rate of turn, and that angle of the road, it was enough for the cement truck to tip over. Assuming the car in front of the cement truck was not speeding, I guess the cement truck should be going 1/2 the speed limit on that stretch of road, for safety reasons. But stuff happens all the time on the road, footballs get kicked onto the road, stray animals run onto the road, etc, and drivers need to often do emergency evasive actions. You wonder if cement trucks should always be going 1/2 the speed limit, so the driver can make emergency evasive actions, because they are so unstable like this one.
