School Bus Pedestrian Crashes Raise Serious Safety Concerns
Crashes involving school buses and pedestrians require careful review because they usually happen near busy city streets, crossings, or school travel routes. Drivers may be watching traffic signals, turning vehicles, people walking, and stopped traffic all at once.
Pedestrians have no protection when they are hit by a large vehicle. Even when early reports do not confirm the extent of injury, medical checks may be needed for head trauma, broken bones, internal harm, or other hidden injuries.
Partial intersection closures may be used after a crash to keep traffic away from the affected lanes. Reviews sometimes focus on vehicle movement, lighting, traffic control, crosswalk use, and where the pedestrian was before contact.
