Thanks! A bit more about the accident:

"Deadly Fort Worth chain-reaction collision started when city bus hit SUV, police report says

A fatal multivehicle crash on Loop 820 on July 10 was started when a Fort Worth city bus for the disabled struck a Jeep Grand Cherokee, according to police reports. Rodney Wood, 36, the driver of the Jeep, was killed in the chain-reaction collision involving five vehicles on eastbound Northeast Loop 820 at Mark IV Parkway. The collisions started at 5:35 p.m.

According to police, the T driver said the Jeep slammed on its brakes. The bus then struck the Grand Cherokee, which then hit a Chevrolet TrailBlazer. A man in a Chrysler 300 said he tried to avoid a Dodge pickup coming from behind but was rear-ended. According to an earlier police account, the TrailBlazer also struck the pickup.

The police report cites failure to control bus speed as the cause of the accident. According to earlier police reports, the Jeep caught fire, which spread to the bus and the Chevy."

** The first 20 seconds of this video are worth watching showing the bus approach slowed or stopped cars in the left lane at speed:
