ORLAND-

The California Highway Patrol is updating their investigation into the deadly crash near Orland on April 10.

CHP will run accident simulations and recreate the scene in Orland Thursday to test theories about how the accident happened.

Ten people died after a FedEx truck crossed the center median into northbound lanes and clipped a car, then crashed into a charter bus carrying high school students from the Los Angeles area and their adult chaperones.

The teens were going to Humboldt State University for a college preview weekend event.

Officers are recreating the accident Thursday afternoon to try and understand what may have happened.

They will be performing skid tests among other scenarios, using a 2007 FedEx trailer and a 2014 tour bus. The detectives are hoping to recreate what kind of visual perspectives the drivers had prior to the accident.

“We are about to do testing to reconstruct part of the accident… We owe it to these families to tell the story of what happened,” a CHP investigator said.

The coroner has completed autopsies on all ten victims, and reported Thursday they have positively identified all but two people. However, they are not releasing the cause of deaths at this time.
