Yes, this is my line of thinking too. I can't see it would be 'deliberate' in the more sinister sense of actively attempting to get them all killed. I think the circumstances, with them all on a high after their gig, and even with the driver sober, may have led the driver, perhaps in a rush for whatever reason, to take an extremely foolish risk on an unfamiliar-style bridge.




I thought they just opened on impact.
