Frozen Brakes Theory Advanced In Bus Tragedy
Richmond December 22 Officials from the Virginia Corporation Commission and the Motor Vehicle Department pushed their probe into the Hopewell bus crash that killed 13. A special MV investigator floated a frozen brakes theory tied to freezing liquor in air brakes, while officials said driver L G Alford may not be at fault. Eyewitness accounts noted low speed near the draw bridge and no skid marks, with investigators split on whether bridge surface or mechanical defect caused the disaster.
