Five people died and 34 were taken to hospitals after a bus slammed into six vehicles on southbound Interstate 95 in Stafford County at about 2:35 a.m.
Virginia State Police said traffic had slowed for an upcoming work zone when the bus failed to slow; all five fatalities were in the struck vehicles, and three injured people were in critical condition.
Charges are pending as investigators work to determine the bus's purpose and how many people were aboard.
Southbound I-95 remained closed seven hours later, with traffic detoured around the crash scene.
Could the company's own records expose a pattern of negligence that led to this deadly I-95 crash?
Did lax safety exemptions for this bus type turn a driver's mistake into a five-fatality tragedy?
What will the bus's 'black box' reveal about driver negligence versus a flaw in the work zone's safety design?
