The Missouri Highway Patrol says this was a chain-reaction crash. It all started when a Volvo tractor cab with no trailer came to a stop in the right lane. Traffic was approaching a construction zone, which is likely why the truck driver stopped. A GMC pick-up truck then crashed into the tractor cab. The driver of a school bus tried to change lanes, but didn't see the stopped cars in front and hit the other two cars. A second school bus then smashed into the back of the first bus.

Apparently the students were on their way to Six Flags

The buses were full of 8th-12th grade band students headed to Six Flags from St. James, Mo. The first bus was full of female students and the second bus was full of male students.
