PA Bus Accident Kills One, Injures 45

One woman is dead and dozens are injured after a Greyhound bus plowed into the back of a tractor-trailer headed to Ohio yesterday on Interstate 80 in Union County, Pennsylvania.

The reason for the crash has not been reported, but the tractor trailer driver told reporters he was driving at about the speed limit when the bus rammed his truck.

The incident is one of many serious bus accidents that have happened in the area in recent years. A coach bus slammed into a Boston overpass in February when the driver ignored low-clearance warning signs, injuring 35 Bucks County high school students and chaperones.

Similar to the Boston bus crash incident, a 2010 Syracuse Megabus accident killed four and critically injured others when the bus driver made a wrong turn off a highway and slammed into a low railroad bridge.

“This tragic accident raises serious concerns regarding the safety of the thousands of passenger and school buses that travel on Central Pennsylvania’s highways and turnpike each day,” auto accident attorney Christopher Marzzacco said today in a press release.
