Not according to the story that started this thread = it very clearly
says LANE, as in ONE lane.

Hmm.. So how many other buses in that convoy crashed?

Irrelevant. He could just as easily have been 45 with a spotless
record. The deer that wanders across the road in front of your truck
(and there are a ****LOAD of them in the Osseo area) doesn't
discriminate based on your driving record.

If you're the second bus in a convoy, when the first bus hits the
"wall" it becomes a "wall" for you. The second bus becomes a "wall"
for the third bus, and so on down the line. Yet ALL of those other bus
drivers managed to avoid ALL those "walls" and stop safely. Why?
