The front end of the school bus was torn off by the truck.Not accurate. The truck hit the bus in the left rear side. The body disassembled from the inertia of the collision. The nose of a school bus stays with the chassis, as the nose is part of the cutaway truck from which the bus is based. The front of the dump truck is another story. Almost everything forward of the windshield was destroyed, which indicates the truck hit something with a severe speed difference. That is consistent with the preliminary stories that the bus attempted to cut straight across the highway to the official-use-only u-turn in the median. Even if the dump truck was below the 65 mph limit, a school bus traveling at a 90° angle to the truck has a highway-path speed of zero, so the dump truck basically hit a stationary object.
