Why School Bus Crashes Often Have Different Injury Outcomes
School buses are designed with safety features that help protect passengers during collisions.
Their size and structure can reduce the impact on those inside compared to smaller vehicles.
However, occupants of other vehicles involved in these crashes may face a higher risk of injury due to the difference in size and protection.
