A crash that killed three passengers on a party bus on a Virginia highway was caused by a fatigued truck driver working for a company that allowed its

drivers to log excessive hours, a federal report concluded Wednesday.

In a report issued Wednesday by the National Transportation Safety Board, investigators concluded that the truck driver’s cruise control was set at 65 to 70 mph when it collided with the bus, which was traveling at about 20 to 25 mph. Triton did not respond to an email seeking comment, and a woman answering phones at the company’s headquarters hung up when a reporter called asking if the company had a comment.
