A devastating bus accident in Southern California has left at least eight to ten people dead and over three dozen injured. The incident occurred when a bus lost control while navigating a mountain road, collided with a car, flipped over, and crashed into a pickup truck.  According to California Highway Patrol spokesman Mario Lopez, the current death toll may rise as investigators begin the grim task of removing bodies from the wreckage.

A dramatic six-car pile-up occurred at the intersection of Orangethorpe Ave and Beach Blvd in Buena Park, California, on Tuesday afternoon. According to eyewitnesses, the chaos began when a Tesla sped the wrong way down the street.
