School Bus Accidents in Pennsylvania
While school buses are among the safest modes of transportation for students, accidents involving these large vehicles still occur across Pennsylvania. According to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT), dozens of school bus-related accidents are reported each year, often caused by factors such as distracted driving, failure to yield, or hazardous road conditions.
Fortunately, school bus regulations and safety measures, including reinforced vehicle structures and strict driver training, help prevent severe injuries in most cases. However, when other vehicles are involved, the risk of injury remains a concern. Drivers are urged to exercise extra caution when traveling near school buses, especially at intersections and during early morning or afternoon hours when buses are frequently on the road.
In the aftermath of a school bus-related accident, seeking medical attention and legal guidance can be critical for those injured. If you or someone you know has been involved in a school bus crash, reaching out for support and assistance can help navigate recovery.
