The bus driver was from rural Ohio; I doubt he had much experience with direct access HOV ramps. Again, I haven't looked at the actual crash data, but this is what I do for a living. I'm guessing driver expectancy & lack of experience played a huge role in this crash. At the speed he was traveling, by the time he would've seen the any guardrail it may have been to late to react.
