With multiple collisions happening here, that could make an already complex situation even more challenging. Investigations have to cover what led to the first crash as well as whether or not the second collision was avoidable. That can include securing any video footage from the bus, pulling electronic data from the vehicles, examining cellphone records, etc. The best way to make sure there are clear answers here is to let the evidence tell the story.
