I figured it was just a matter of time before suits were filed against Greyhound for the horrific accident here in Fresno that took 6 lives and injured so many others.  I feel for all of the people who have suffered loss and injury and such trauma.  And I realize the investigation is not complete, however, to sue Greyhound because the driver “did not fulfill his duty to transport the passengers safely”??? C’mon people.  WHY couldn’t he do that?  Because some young girls out for a night of fun, decided to drink (underaged…illegal) at a bar (which should be held accountable if they acquired liquor there) or elsewhere and then made the irresponsible and fatal decision to get behind the wheel of a vehicle, instead of letting the SOBER PASSENGER drive!  And although the driver and his inability to swerve out of the way of the vehicle or even see it is in question, I can’t imagine that a bus driver is expecting a car to be overturned, carriage side facing him, at 2:00 a.m.  And you can’t compare the 3rd vehicle, a CRV, to a BUS for goodness sakes.  A bus can’t maneuver like a small crossover.  The entire thing is tragic but to sue Greyhound?  To place any blame on the SOBER driver, adds to this tragedy.  Along with the comments from people about how kids are young and they just make mistakes…or how they’re not going to blame them because they were drunk. Really?? WHY?  They were and if not for the poor, irresponsible choices of these girls, all would still be alive.  No law suit will make anyone better or bring a loved one back, let’s place accountability where it should be…the drunk girls and possibly the club that sold them liquor, or whatever other person/source gave them liquor and contributed to this tragedy. 

Sad and tragic all the way around.
