Injuries on a Transit Bus
Whether you are driving in your car or a passenger on a bus, you can be the victim of a vehicular accident at any time. In Broward County, drivers of all ages are on the road daily and everyone must practice safe driving at all times.
I recently read an article that was posted on a website where a Broward County Transit bus was involved in an accident with another vehicle. The bus was travelling on Oakland Park Boulevard when it was hit from behind, as it stopped to allow passengers on and off the bus. Reports state that the accident occurred in Fort Lauderdale. The bus was carrying 27 passengers at the time of the accident and because of the impact of the car made when it hit the bus, there were multiple injuries. Paramedics were called to the scene; eleven were rushed to a nearby hospital, three were admitted to the hospital for "serious" injuries. The remaining passengers were all released with minor injuries. Police Investigators state that it does not appear that woman who was driving the car that slammed into the back of the bus, applied her brakes to avoid hitting the bus.
