According to The Boston Globe, a bus accident on I-93 North this past Sunday evening left 4 people injured. The accident occurred near the Stoneham line on the highway when a 22-year-old Boston woman operating an SUV veered from the right lane into the middle lane, hitting a passenger bus, which in turn struck a sedan.
The Boston woman was taken to an area hospital with injuries that were not considered to be life-threatening. The bus driver was transported to a local hospital as well for treatment. The unidentified man and woman in the sedan, both 31, were also taken to an area hospital for treatment. A 6-year-old girl was a passenger in the sedan but was uninjured in the crash. The 53 passengers on the bus that was hit were not injured. Police are continuing to investigate the cause of the multi-vehicle crash and if any charges will be brought against the driver of the SUV.
Bus Crash Statistics
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, roughly 250 crashes involving buses in 2008 across the U.S. resulted in fatalities. Occupants of large passenger buses can experience a range of injuries, including strains, broken bones, cuts and bruising, and traumatic head and brain injuries. Buses do not usually install seat belts or similar safety restraints, which can put passengers at a higher risk of getting injured in the event of a crash. Thankfully, this accident did not result in more serious injuries for those involved.
