12:02 pm
leave and were headed toward pena. the bus that crashed was the lead bus. instead of going toward pena, the bus took the root to the terminal and the bus crashed. a piece of new information we learn today, is that the bus made a straight line toward the pillar into which it crashed. it wasn't like it swerved or turned. it appears, based on that based on the tracks from the bus, that the bus drove directly into the pillar. a big question is how fast the bus was going. lisa relying very much on witnesses and they said witnesses said the bus was going between 30 and 40 miles per hour. denver police said something about that. >> 30 to 40 miles our -- our appropriate for that section? no. my best recollection of traveling that, myself, is that we were down to 15 miles an
12:03 pm
folks would be walking. >> reporter: a lot of questions are remaining. the first, whether or not the driver had a medical condition prior to driving the bus or during driving the bus. denver police are working to figure that out. unfortunately, it might be unclear if a medical condition was the cause of death prior to the crash. the crash was so significant. another question lingering is whether or not alcohol or drugs were involved. the medical examiner's office will conduct a truxel -- a toxicology test and that results could take six to eight weeks. another thing is denver police is working with adams 12 to figure out the last time the driver had a physical and what the results of the physical world. they also inquired about physical and medical requirements of the bus drivers and we are ahead -- we're waiting to hear back. that's the latest information

headquarters. >> whitney, has the bus been removed from the area, that part of the investigation is over? >> reporter: there was video, i believe, of a tow truck pulling the bus away. it's unclear where the bus is right now, in relation to the investigation. i will tell you what, to rhonda, we are going to d.i.a. to get a better root. we intend to drive it to give the viewers an idea of what it would look like out the front window and we will follow that story all day. i've been in touch with the medical examiner's office and they expect more information this afternoon. a piece of information people are wondering, is whether or not the driver was texting or was distracted. denver police say witnesses on the bus don't say that appears to be the case but this is ongoing and more information will come. >> helpful for you to be there

12:09 pm
doesn't come on suddenly. you don't all of a sudden develop it one day. it has probably been developing over a week ago. >> losing her voice, coughing -- becky thought it was due to allergies. you don't take a chest x-ray right away, because that is radiation. the doctor waited a little bit and took the x-ray and found out she had pneumonia. i'm assuming that's what happened. that is what typically happens. then, they put her on antibiotics so she could recover. she probably jumped up a little bit too early. she had to get out on the campaign trail. >> not a good recipe to be so are all types of pneumonia the same? you hear about walking pneumonia and the kinds that puts you in bed. >> people are locking on to this, saying what is walking pneumonia? what i tell patients, the only thing walking pneumonia means is a pneumonia you don't get put in the hospital for. just like regular pneumonia, if you hospitalize it is one condition and if you don't, it is walking pneumonia because
12:10 pm
it needs rest and we tell people to rest for three or four days. in her case, she didn't do that, likely because she's in the middle of a campaign and couldn't afford the time off. her body got to the point where it said, you are going to take the time off, whether you want to or not. that's what we saw in the video. >> you see patients like that? >> i see them all the time. a lot of them have jobs or they can take time off. i tell them that you need to pull back in your body will let you know if you have to take time off in a pretty dramatic fashion. >> a week or three days? >> she will feel better after the antibiotics and then she can do some light travel and campaigning. or the next week, she will keep it close with phone calls and toward the end of the week, some light campaigning. >> we will see. she should have you as her personal doctor, everything would have been all good.
