What Makes Bus Crashes on Bridges Especially Dangerous
Bus crashes on major bridges can be particularly hazardous due to confined spaces and heavy traffic flow.
Limited room for maneuvering can increase the severity of collisions and make emergency response more challenging.
With multiple passengers onboard, these incidents often result in a higher number of injuries compared to typical vehicle crashes.
