Yikes. I’m glad to read that everybody involved seems to be relatively okay (or, at least, the fire chief says that he doesn’t think any of the injuries people involved in the accident sustained seemed to be life-threatening. I imagine it’s impossible for everybody in a bus rollover crash to not at least get mildly banged up). Bus rollovers are definitely a pretty scary type of vehicle accident, and it sounds like this one was caused by the bus hitting a patch of black ice. As someone from the part of California that doesn’t have snow or receives terrible road conditions in the cold weather months, black ice is one of those things that I just have kind of vaguely heard about. My interpretation of the existence of black ice is that it is a variation of frozen ice that can form (I believe due to freezing rain - another type of weather condition I am unfamiliar and inexperienced with) that is basically invisible, which is why it’s so dangerous on roads.
