Something that has changed a lot from when I started my career over 30 years ago to now is the availability for electronic evidence. As such, it's also more important than ever to secure that evidence as soon as possible.
For example, did the bus have cameras? Were there any cameras at nearby businesses or traffic lights? Did other drivers have dash cams? Have authorities pulled cellphone records from both the bus driver and the victim? A lot of this evidence can be time sensitive, so securing it early on gives victims and families the best chance possible to tell the full story.
