Oh I see now it was 3am when this all happened. I bet he was looking for a titty bar to go get another drink at the time he lost control of the bus. I mean driving a bus with all them little school girl cheerleaders probably had him wanting a lapdance. He even looks like a sadistic perverted alcoholic and probably has child porn on his home computer as well.

What a stupid azz this guy is, I mean driving a bus with 30 people on it and he wants to play drunk driver? How in the world did he get this job to begin with? I sincerely hope he spends a few years behind bars to think about his actions. Also, if he has any family imagine what they will be going through without him around. I feel sorry if he has a wife and kids as they are the ones that will suffer for his stupidity. Alcoholics, no wonder why I don't have any sympathy for them any more as they only think of one thing and thats where the next drink is going to come from......He probably had a flask in his pants with a straw coming out of it to drink while he was driving and nobody would notice it. Or, he probably poured half the coke out of the can and filled it up with Jack Daniels and saying see I drink Coke too.

Nasty COCKROACH. When are the polititions going to realize these people are from 3rd world countries that have no laws? If he killed them all, the legal citizen TAXPAYERS would be paying out millions of dollars for this. Another STOLEN ID....It figures, but these employers will just keep hiring these scumbags. If my daughter had been on that bus, this COCKROACH wouldn't have to worry about a jail sentence. I bet he's got one helluva criminal record down in may-he-ko too.

Apparently the bus driver, 61-year-old Alejandro Lopez, an illegal Mexican using stolen identification to get his job, puked on the front floor of the bus before running off the road into the sign. An empty 2 liter bottle of tequila was found under his seat. He was cited and released to his family in Hermosillo.

Say "single85260" try driving a "Crown" or "Bluebird" School bus like I use to with 90 to 115 students and NO OTHER ADULTS on board to help control them! As the saying goes you will be crazy at the end of the first day if you weren't when you applied for the job.

Well I hope he doesn't even get a second chance at driving.....PLUS with a CDL (Commercial Drivers License) YOU are drunk with a BAC of 0.04% so he was at almost 4 times the legal limit if he was over the EXTREME DUI of more than 0.15%!! May he rot in JAIL!!!!

There's no excuse for him. I hope he gets the book thrown at him and does some jail time. Not that it's going to make any difference but his license to drive a bus will surely be revoked

I would have driven it off the Hoover Dam if I were him. That many girls on a bus would drive me nuts!
