of evidence and perhaps movements from vehicles to try to determine change of direction, what might have caused and spawned that very serious accident. it was only a few hours ago, scott, that the bodies that were out here covered in tarps were actually removed. they still don't know definitivety what may be inside that bus and its skeletal remains. what we do know at this point is that they have been ten confirmed deaths. the most coming from overnight a severe burn victim coming from uc davis and composition of some of the victims the chaperons and two drivers and a lot to be determined, including what catalyzed this entire process. what are they looking at to try to figure out why the fedex driver ended up careening, going fraul one side of the highway to the next and wreaking havoc in the lives of so many. >> by doing an autopsy they'll be able to determine if there was a medical condition, if the

driver was deceased prior to the accident or if they had a medical issue that caused them to drive over the median. if it was intentional, if it was accidental, you know, negligent driving. movement in a steering wheel and all the facts, according to the speed, applying brakes, turning movements, all the marks that are going to be on the roadway are going to help them determine what the cause of the accident was. >> and that was lacy from the california highway patrol. studying the scene for what they're going to be doing here. she actually told me a really interesting tidbit i had not heard before. this could have been worse if it was not for the fact of a chp officer within a couple miles of this accident when it took place. he saw the smoke billowing up and alert the appropriate authority to handle the traumatic circumstances. could have saved lives potentially. the accident investigation here

will be here and matched by the ntsb and i'm not sure what their role will be and the chp doesn't know yet and much more coming up at 10:00 this morning when there's a press conference and we have that information additionally we'll be sure to bring it to you. reporting live from orland, sam brock. >> giving you updates on the roadway. northbound, i would imagine, still investigating. so, so much wreckage out there. >> right. we were told the last update we had is that northbound should clear up at some point after 7:00. i can tell you right now, we're all actually positioned on the northbound side of the highway a liability to certainly everyone out here if they would open it up any time soon. what the impacts will be for the folks trying to commute in the area. be sure to pass that along, as well. >> thank you so much. >> awful. in fact, a sleepless night for families in southern california. they're waiting to hear about their children who were on that bus. >> there were a number of buses actually headed north to

humboldt state. just one was involved with that crash. many of the injured needed help to even hobble away from the wreckage while others are still in the hospital. in fact, many of the students taking to social media, it's what they know at that age to reassure their friends and family that they're all right. peggy bunker joins us on set and you have been following emotional tales of the students and their families. >> kids get online and get on twitter and talk about what happened and what they experienced. the first look at the inside of the bus before it happened. an nbc photographer on the scene talking to crash survivors and one was taking pictures and tweeting during the journey. he tweeted out this picture, as typical teenagers do, 11 to 12 hours in here sigh is what he said because it was such a long journey because not expecting anything could be different. they were on their smartphones and ipods doing what teens do. not knowing this is what was coming next.

a fedex truck cross the center median and cause this situation here. look at this huge fireball erupting from the impact, killing both the fedex driver and the bus driver, as you just heard there from the police officer. perhaps there was a medical issue that maybe killed the fedex driver prior, but this is the end result here. this fireball, of course, not everybody made it out alive. that is the agonizing reality for one family, one mother who had twin teenage girls on the buses. one is okay this morning, tragically, one is still missing. >> saying she's saying, i'm so overwhelmed with emotion. i'm so desperate to find out and so sad and desperate to find out what has happened to my daughter. you see the photo there of the two of them and they go together. one, you know, needs the other. that just makes the situation more tragic. we're also hearing reports,

i'm told that could actually come very soon. once we see tow trucks that, in fact, the scene is going to clear. but in the meantime, they're going to gather as much evidence as they can. the ntsb is going to be coming in later today to help bolster those efforts. but in the meantime, so much we don't know. we don't know what caused the fedex driver to swerve over the median and to create that crash. we don't know how many families are informed and we don't know the fundamental elements of this investigation. we posed that question to lacy of the california highway patrol. what don't you know and what are you waiting for? >> takes a couple months to get through all the facts and evidence and get through its lengthy reports and a lot of time and hours and efforts that go into it. it has to be meticulous and perfect because those families deserve to know the truth and what happened. >> no question the stakes are high. she's proving that there that they need to be as comprehensive as possible in trying to
