Investigators will be looking at footage from a video camera mounted inside the tour bus that crashed and killed 15 people on a New York highway to help determine the cause of the horrific weekend accident.
Another victim of the crash was pronounced dead on Monday, bringing the total fatalities to 15.
The National Transportation Safety Board will analyze footage from the camera that faced passengers and will also examine an engine control module that may indicate how fast the bus was going.
The NTSB has not yet spoken to the bus driver. But passengers and witnesses told investigators his account of getting clipped by a tractor-trailer didn’t match up to what they felt and saw before the Saturday’s crash.
The bus slid into a sign pole that sheared it end to end in a gruesome scene of blood, jumbled bodies and shattered glass.
