Reason behind "bus fall"

The conductor of the Dimple Bus 7511 said that the "strong wind" brought about by the current typhoon was the cause of the accident while a representative from the Highway Patrol Group said that its the "slightly speeding of the bus". To prove this, Skyway through an ABS-CBN report said that they have the actual CCTV video footage of the actual bus fall. However, Skyway is not yet releasing the said video.
