While not official, evidently some of the survivors and the bus driver have reported that the brakes failed on that mountain road. It appears that
many of the passengers were medical students from Tijuana.
Very very sad. Mulegena - 2-4-2013 at 01:45 PM
A tragedy such as this is magnified by the loss to us all.Udo - 2-4-2013 at 05:23 PM
On KNX 1070, AM in Los Angeles, they reported that the bus driver had yelled at passengers to cal 911 because the brakes were inoperative.
As of early this afternoon, two bodies still remained in the bus, unable to remove them.DENNIS - 2-4-2013 at 05:55 PM
Just goes to show you that busses don't have to be in third world countries to have malfunctions.
This one is terrible.luv2fish - 2-4-2013 at 07:06 PM

N.T.S.B. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families.DENNIS - 2-4-2013 at 08:23 PM

Arce is a common name down here, perhaps all related somewhere in the past, but common.
