Pickup Slams Into School Bus??? The Bus hit the Pickup, when will you people learn to write properly? THE BUS Slammed into (at about 20 MPH, big deal) the Pickup! And guess what? if the guy has a decent lawyer when he goes to court it will be the bus driver's fault, because he is a "Professional" driver and should not put himself into a situation where he would hit another vehicle. The crash occurred after a pickup driver pulled out onto Route 271 and was struck by the bus, Central Cambria schools Superintendent Vincent DiLeo and Jackson Township police said. Get your facts straight people......
