Fatalities reported after MTA, school bus collide in SW Baltimore
BREAKING: At least 6 dead after an MTA bus and a school bus are involved in a major crash on Frederick Avenue at Monastery Avenue in southwest Baltimore, city police confirm.
You didn't do well in the physics class, did you? Or does 40 mph equal a "high rate of speed" to you? Here's a quick lesson.... if both buses were going 40 mph at the time of impact, it would be the same force as one vehicle hitting a wall at 80 MPH! Your armchair accident analysis is way off the mark. Even if both vehicles were only going 30 mph at the moment of impact, the damage would be considerable, and lives would have been lost.

One of the vehicles was at a high rate of speed for this much damage.
Just heard about this. God bless all involved and their families, thank God that bus wasn't full of children.
