From another source:
Football players and coaches from Ramah Juco Academy were making the trip from Rock Hill, S.C., to Raeford Saturday to face the University of God’s Children when their charter bus struck an overpass on Interstate 74, UGC coach Demetrius Hollingsworth said.
Dozens of people were injured in the crash. Images from the scene showed the side wall of the bus had been almost sheared off, and injured people were lying on ground.
At least 2 dead.

“The bus reportedly struck an overpass bridge near mile marker 316 in Richmond County.”

Looking at the photos with the article the overpass bridge seems way to high for the bus to hit it.

Sounds like one of those charter companies that specializes in hauling illegal aliens in unsafe buses.

Maybe it went off the road and scraped a pillar for the overpass.

That is what I am thinking.

I thought of that, but I didn't see any supports. Maybe it just wasn't in the pics. The front end sure hit something hard, tho.

Perhaps you don’t recall the illegal alien bus crash in NOLA a few weeks back..

It is a good possibility the driver pass out or fell asleep.
