PHOENIX — Two motorists say the bus involved in a deadly crash south of Phoenix last month was being driven so erratically that they called 911 shortly before it overturned.

The Arizona Department of Public Safety on Tuesday released more than 130 pages of investigative records about the March 5 crash that killed six of the 22 people aboard the bus that was traveling from central Mexico to Los Angeles.

The DPS records show a handful of violations were found by investigators - from brake problems to poor maintenance of driver logbooks - and that the driver was believed to have been going too fast and may have been inattentive or fallen asleep at the wheel.

However, no formal citations have been issued and no specific cause for the crash was identified. Instead, the results of the probe will be sent to the Pinal County Attorney's Office for review.
