47 middle school students in Louisville, Kentucky were taken to four different hospitals after their school bus crashed early Friday morning. After colliding with a Ford Mustang, the school bus fell onto its side. The three people in the Mustang were also taken to the hospital. About half of the students received injuries that were not life-threatening and the other half were taken as a precaution.
This is important because it shows how fatal car crashes can be. 50 people were taken to the hospital from one crash. This should change peoples perspective on the safety of school buses. School buses need more seat belts and safer seats to help prevent injury.

This is horrible. I also agree with the fact that school buses should have safer seats and more seat belts. School bus drivers should also be more alert so things like this wont happen.
ReplyDeleteThis is really bad I think school buses really need to put seat belts in! this article was very interesting!
ReplyDeleteI do agree that seat belts should be added to school busses.
ReplyDeleteI also agree that seat belts should be added to buses. We shouldn't have to wait for innocent students to be in the hospital to have to think more about safety. I hope that this accident has warned people about how unsafe not having seat belts truly is. I also hope that these kids are okay, and that this never happens again.
ReplyDeleteThere are buses that have seat belts and that's what they are put there for, it's just not everyone wants to wear a seatbelt because its not cool or it doesn't really matter. You have the choice of putting on a seat belt or not, all you have to do is decide.
ReplyDeleteThank goodness noone was killed. Seat belts and safer seats are good ideas, but buses need to be redesigned so that they can't be tipped over so easily. Every day, we hear stories of people being killed in bus accidents. Sometimes seat belts can't save lives, and that's why maybe engineers should take a look at the structure of buses.
