In Houston, a transit bus crashed into a highway sign and injured more than 30 people. Most of those injured ended up in the hospital. The accident occurred near downtown Houston at approximately 1:30 p.m. While this didn’t occur in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, it is important to note that negligence does occur even in public transportation, which we generally consider safe. The accident was caused by a pickup truck that suddenly crossed the bus’s path, the bus hitting the truck and then subsequently crashing into a highway sign. Our thoughts are with those who were impacted by this horrific Houston crash.
Bus Accidents
Buses are much larger and heavier than most other vehicles, and therefore any accident involving a bus is going to be much more devastating. Highway bus accidents can be especially dangerous, as all vehicles involved are traveling at a much higher rate of speed. People suffer from debilitating injuries like head injuries, spinal injuries, broken bones, deep lacerations, bruising, incredible pain, and emotional trauma. You need an experienced bus accident attorney on your side to fight the insurance companies and get the money you deserve.
