For thirty students at Austin College, the otherwise routine trip to D/FW International Airport became a frightening and unforgettable experience earlier this week.
Somewhere on the road between Sherman and Dallas, the Austin College men and women’s basketball teams’ plans were derailed when their charter bus caught on fire. Fortunately, all of the passengers were able to escape the bus’s engine fire before they suffered injuries related to either smoke inhalation or burns. However, that’s not always the case. More frequently than you might imagine, buses are involved in serious automobile accidents that hurt their passengers and fellow drivers.
The reason for the heightened risks associated with buses makes sense, even though most passengers rarely think about it. Buses are considerably more likely to tip than cars, they have huge and unavoidable blind spots, and they are sometimes driven extreme distances and for unprecedented lengths of time.
