Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do immediately after a crash involving a school bus?
Call 911 if anyone is hurt, move to a safe area if possible, and wait for law enforcement to arrive and document the scene. Avoid moving vehicles unless they are blocking traffic and it's safe to do so.
How do road and weather conditions factor into crashes like this?
Wet pavement, glare, and poor visibility can all make it harder for drivers to react in time, especially near intersections where vehicles are turning or stopping. Conditions are usually reviewed as part of a crash investigation.
Where do most vehicle collisions with buses tend to happen?
These crashes commonly occur at intersections or during pickup and drop-off periods, when buses are stopping, turning, or merging with traffic.
