From what I gather, the bus did indeed run a stop sign. Neither the bus or the Benz were travelling fast. (A residential neighborhood) The Benz driver saw it coming and was able to stop. She ducked at the last moment when the front tire started over the hood. As for the question of why the bus' stop signs are out, they automatically come out and flash when the bus' door is opened. If you look at the picture of the bus from the front, you can see it's door is indeed open.

Seace77077, what is the source of the other pics? I hadn't seen them. Bradenton paper maybe? The pics I posted are from the Sarasota Herald-Tribune where I work.
