Man Killed When He Crashes Into School Bus
According to lacrossetrdibune.com, Sheriff investigators are trying to determine the cause of a recent deadly accident that involved a school bus traveling with 9 students on board. Fortunately no one on the bus was injured, as said by Thomas Simonson, Kickapoo School District Administrator. The children’s ages ranged from 4 to 15 and they were on their way to their first day of class. After being checked out by the emergency personnel on the scene, it was determined that they were unharmed and could continue on their way to school. The bus had made a stop to pick up more students when it was hit from behind by an SUV. Vernon County sheriffs reported the accident happened at approximately 7:10 am and the driver of the SUV was age 51.
The United States employs approximately 450,000 school buses to transport children to school each day. There have been many cases of injuries and deaths related to school bus accidents, including children being struck or run over by the bus, rollovers, and collisions. In most cases, Los Angeles bus accidents involve school buses in particular, but a significant percentage of accidents also occur on city buses and affect not only children, but adults of all ages. According to the Federal Transit Authority, the total number of bus accidents in the United States has risen dramatically in recent years with a corresponding rise in injuries.
