Oh yeah, it happens quite OFTEN..... usually when the driver is an "illegal." MOST reports of accidents lately, involving American Drivers, indicate that the driver stuck around, co-operated with the police, and was CHARGED!
Ah.... but they DID!! And I suspect that all those companies you mentioned WOULD, indeed, make a public comment if one of their drivers caused an accident that killed 34 people!
No, it's not terribly unusual..... but it usually makes the FoxNews and CNN headlines! And, if it caused the death of 34 people..... it would be ALL they talked about for 3 days!
You accused the reporter of "grasping at straws." That indicates that you didn't believe it was newsworthy, and was only "sensationalized" because of the Mexican Driver issue. Had it not been for that issue, you indicated that you believed it should NOT have been reported.... or at least not linked to a viable issue. This equates to "sweeping it under the rug" which is tantamount to "hiding something."
:roll:

You may like it the way it is down there but don't make the mistake in thinking that the rest of us would.[/b]
