What Happens When School Buses Are Involved in Traffic Crashes
Crashes involving school buses often draw immediate attention due to the presence of children on board. Even when injuries are minor, safety checks are typically carried out to ensure all passengers are unharmed.
School buses are designed with safety features such as reinforced sides and high seating positions. These features can help reduce the risk of injury during a collision compared to standard passenger vehicles.
When another vehicle is involved, its occupants may face a higher risk of injury due to the bus’s size and structure. Traffic may also be affected while crews assess the scene and ensure safe conditions for students and other drivers.
