Hazleton Bus Crash FAQ
Q: What causes bus accidents in Luzerne County?
The FMCSA reports that 5,096 buses crashed last year. However, each of these collisions was likely caused by a different combination of factors and conditions. There is no one reason that buses crash. Understanding why a given bus accident happened can be complex and technical, but the most common causes of catastrophic bus accidents in Pennsylvania include:
- Distracted driving by bus, car, truck, SUV, and motorcycle drivers who are not paying attention, especially as buses make frequent stops
- Inclement Pennsylvania weather, including rain, snow, ice, wind, and fog
- Fatigued or drowsy driving by drivers who are exhausted behind the wheel
- Speeding by motor-vehicle operators who drive faster than the posted speed limits
- Impaired driving by those driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- Failures to follow the rules of the road, such as the laws governing switching lanes, stopping at traffic lights and stop signs, and turn signal use
