What Happens When a Bus Rolls Onto Its Side?
A bus can roll onto its side when a vehicle strikes it with enough force to affect its balance. The risk to passengers can depend on the speed of the vehicles, the direction of the force, and whether passengers were seated or standing.
Passengers may have difficulty exiting a bus that has tipped over because doors and windows can become difficult to reach. Emergency exits may provide another way out, depending on the bus design and how it came to rest.
After a rollover, responders generally check the vehicle for trapped passengers and assess whether anyone needs medical attention. Damage to the bus, passenger seating, windows, and surrounding vehicles can also help establish how the collision unfolded.
