How horrible!
You know.....there have been times I've been very scared on a airport shuttle & even the car rental shuttle. It's very concerning....I can't even count the number of times I'm on one of those shuttles at 11:00pm.
Sounds like the Westbound shuttle driver veered right into the Eastbound driver. God bless the families.

That's very disturbing. Sometimes you hold on for dear life while these shuttle drivers careen around. I'm sorry for the victims.

This was a tragedy waiting to happen. I've been afraid for my life more times on parking lot shuttless and such. I prefer the large slow rental center shuttles. But, all of them should have seat belts and most don't.
