Absolutely horrible. I feel for their poor families.

yeah, really horrible...seems like most of the time that you hear of a car full of people being wiped out it's the same scenario; a bus driver loses control of vehicle and plows head on into oncoming traffic...and always runs away afterward...

heart goes out to their family...

Yep, I echo everything above ^^^

Same old story, mad/high/drunk bus driver wipes out a young family and then does not have the balls to remain at the scene and face the consequences of his actions

Heartfelt condolences to any remaining family.
