Elizabeth and Robert Rotta killed and two others injured in runaway bus crash on I-405 in Kirkland on May 6

Washington State Patrol said it will take two weeks before detectives get a look inside the bus involved in the fatal crash in Kirkland on Monday.

Ken Rotta says he has no anger about the accident that killed his parents, but he does have questions that need to be answered.

A couple died in Kirkland when a Sound Transit bus ran a red light and slammed into an SUV. Now the children and grandchildren of Bob and Betty Rotta are remembering them as two people who were focused on their family and their faith.

One after another, after another we found people Tuesday night who had ridden the 535 bus out of Bellevue the night before. One after another they declined to talk on camera.

The driver of a Sound Transit bus says the brakes failed and he was unable to avoid hitting a car Monday night on an Interstate 405 transit ramp, killing two people.

The Washington State Patrol says a Sound Transit bus traveled about two miles after being involved in a crash on Interstate 405 in Kirkland that killed two elderly people.

The Washington State Patrol says two passengers in an SUV were killed in a collision on I-405 in Kirkland with a Sound Transit bus that continued for two miles. The bus driver said the brakes failed.

Sound Transit released maintenance records for the Community Transit bus that crashed into an SUV and killed two people on Monday.

The records show that there were seven minor defects found with the bus that included an oil leak when it went for a routine inspection on May 1. All the minor defects were fixed before the crash.

Two people were killed and two others were hurt in a crash involving what the driver said was a runaway Sound Transit bus in Kirkland.

The bus involved in Monday night’s fatal I-405 crash had passed a routine safety inspection a week earlier, according to a routine maintenance log released by Sound Transit on Thursday.

During a 30-minute test drive on May 1, a mechanic looked into a complaint the bus pulled right, and found it “did not pull, and didn’t pull when braking.” Also, the log says, the brake pads were all a quarter-inch thick, putting them above the minimum standard.
