Sixto
87 300D
Operator malfunction on the part of the bus drivers. Following too closely, not paying attention, or as Huskyman suggested, becoming target fixated and driving straight into the thing they didn't want to hit.

I read an article that said serious problems were identified with the brakes on the school buses, but that these did not contribute to the crash. This leads me to believe the bus drivers never hit their brakes.
