On September 15th a school bus in Houston TX was hit by a car and nosedived over the highway guardrail and fell onto its side on the road below. The car that hit the bus is known to have been driven by a Houston teacher who, according to investigators, swerved to avoid another car and hit the front driver's side of the bus. A 17 year old female student died in the crash while another girl, 14, died later in the hospital. Two other male students as well as the bus driver have been hospitalized. Investigations are still being pursued in an attempt to discover how the accident happened. The bus driver is said to have been working for the district for three years and has never had an incident, however the bus' security cameras are being reviewed. In Houston's school district alone there are 215,000 students, 34,000 of which ride the 950 buses.

DeleteYeah they haven't reviewed the footage yet. We're not sure who's fault it was, but there always can be a better way to assess a situation to avoid a crash.
