From the Huntsville Times:

A second lawsuit has been filed in the fatal Huntsville school bus crash last fall.

More are expected as lawyers, accident investigators, the bus company and others try to sort out what happened that fateful Nov. 20 on a downtown Huntsville interstate overpass.

Mark McDaniel, attorney for the family of the late Crystalle McCrary, filed a lawsuit in Madison County Circuit Court late Tuesday seeking unspecified damages. McDaniel’s firm represents 18 of the student victims.

…

Defendants in McDaniel’s lawsuit include Laidlaw Transit Inc, the bus company under contract with Huntsville city schools; its driver, Anthony Tyrone Scott; the teenaged car driver of a car that struck the bus shortly after it plunged over the overpass wall; and other unnamed defendants including the car maker, manufacturer of its components and others.

Parts manufacturers?  I’m surprised the suit didn’t name the road contractor, car salesman, and Isaac Newton (for discovering* that pesky gravity).

*Technically speaking he didn’t “discover” gravity, the effects of which had long been obvious.  He is credited, though, as the first to characterize gravity in his law of universal gravitation.
