<p>The National Transportation Safety Board has completed its on-site probe into an Aug. 5 crash involving two buses and two trucks, killing two teenagers outside of St. Louis.</p>

<p>Eight investigators left Gray Summit last Friday to return to Washington. The group completed inspections of the buses, semi cab, and pick-up from the accident, and interviewed witnesses.</p>
<p> The investigators also studied the layout of I-44 and warning signs leading up to a construction zone on I-44.<br /><br />It could take as long as a year before the NTSB  releases its findings on the deadly accident that claimed the lives of a 15-year-old from St. James, Mo., and a 19-year-old from Sullivan, Mo.</p>

<p>The two buses were packed with eighth-grade St. James band students who were on their way to the Six Flags amusement part, which is about 10 miles from the scene of the accident.</p>
<p>The fatal crash took place near Gray Summit, Mo., which is roughly 30 miles from St. Louis.</p>
<p>Officials didn&#8217;t immediately say if the two victims were passsengers on the buses, or from the truck.</p>

<p>Six people were killed and more than 30 injured in a Greyhound bus crash early Thursday morning on Highway 99 in Fresno, Calif., according to press reports. The dead included the bus driver. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.ksee24.com/news/local/Six-dead-in-Greyhound-Bus-crash-at-Highway-99-and-McKinley-Ave-99012474.html">http://www.ksee24.com/news/local/Six-dead-in-Greyhound-Bus-crash-at-Highway-99-and-McKinley-Ave-99012474.html</a></p>
<p>The bus was going from Los Angeles to Sacramento on Highway 99 when it suddently encountered a disabled vehicle at about 2 a.m. A Chevy Trailblazer had flipped over in a single-vehicle accident. The bus veered to avoid hitting the SUV, and instead struck a car and went off the road.</p>
<p>The bus then hit a concrete center divider and then a eucalyptus tree, and stopped. This all took place at the McKinley Avenue off-ramp.   </p>
<p><a href="http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2010/07/six-dead-in-greyhound-bus-collision-near-fresno.html">http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2010/07/six-dead-in-greyhound-bus-collision-near-fresno.html</a></p>
<p>Five people were dead inside the bus, which carried 47 passengers, and one died later at a hospital, according to the Los Angeles Times. It also reported that four other people suffered major injuries and were in critical condition and six had minor injuries. </p>
<p>Police closed the northbound lanes of Highway 99 at Olive Avenue as they went on with their investigation.</p>

<p>A bus driver was thrown through a windshield and two dozen people were hurt Thursday when a bus on its way to Atlantic City crashed on a bridge.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/ny_local/2010/06/24/2010-06-24_sun_lee_bus_headed_to_atlantic_city_crashes_in_southern_new_jersey_driver_ejecte.html">http://www.nydailynews.com/ny_local/2010/06/24/2010-06-24_sun_lee_bus_headed_to_atlantic_city_crashes_in_southern_new_jersey_driver_ejecte.html</a></p>
<p>The bus was traveling from Chinatown in Manhattan to bring gamblers to the Atlantic City casinos. It came to a line of vehicles that had stopped on Route 40 in Atlantic City, and the unidentified bus driver slammed on the brakes to avoid hitting the cars ahead.</p>
<p> The bus then struck a center divider, hit a car and struck a concrete retaining wall on the bridge, which is when the driver was thrown through the windshield. The bus then actually rolled over the driver and continued moving, skidding about 100 feet until it stopped. </p>
<p>The bus driver was in critical condition in the trauma unit at Atlantic City Medical Center.</p>
<p>The hurt bus passengers suffered only minor injuries and were treated at local hospitals following the accident, which took place around 11:30 a.m. Thursday.</p>
<p>The 26 passengers who went through the crash uninjured went on to the Tropicana Casino and Resort.</p>
<p>The bus that was involved  in the crash is owned by Sun Lee Blue in Brooklyn.</p>

<p>It&#8217;s not the way anyone would want to start off their marriage. But I guess it&#8217;s proof that this bride-to-be and her groom wouldn&#8217;t let injury &#8212; or death &#8211; keep them apart.</p>
<p>Lauren Magee and Tom Hanley were among 14 people who were hurt about 2 p.m. Saturday in Indianapolis when the shuttle bus carrying them and their wedding party to take pre-wedding photos got into an accident, colliding with a sport utility vehicle. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5iieMb5-H1RXZ_Jz5xe_aCMFFtWowD9G5F9580">http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5iieMb5-H1RXZ_Jz5xe_aCMFFtWowD9G5F9580A</a></p>
<p>Wedding party member James Douglas, 29, was killed.</p>
<p>According to eyewitness reports, the driver of the shuttle bus ran a red light, causing the fatal accident. The shuttle bus was knocked on its side buring the crash.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.thestarpress.com/article/20100607/NEWS06/100607005/1002/NEWS01/Indianapolis-police--Bus-carrying-wedding-party-ran-red-light-">http://www.thestarpress.com/article/20100607/NEWS06/100607005/1002/NEWS01/Indianapolis-police&#8211;Bus-carrying-wedding-party-ran-red-light-</a></p>
<p>Despite that tragedy, Magee and Hanley went forward with their wedding, which took place at the hospital where they  and half of their injured wedding party were taken for treatment, Methodist Hospital. The hospital set up a conference room for the ceremony.</p>
<p>The seven wedding party members who were treated at Wishard Memorial Hospital were transported to Methodist Hospital for the ceremony,  along with 100 others. Many of those guests had been set to attend the wedding at its original location, a downtown Indianapolis event center.</p>

<p>Following a fatal accident, Pennsylvania will now allow school districts and contractors to see the lifelong driving records of bus drivers. <a href="http://readingeagle.com/article.aspx?id=209292">http://readingeagle.com/article.aspx?id=209292</a></p>
<p>In an announcement Monday, Montgomery County District Attorney Risa Vetri Ferman said that the records that the schools will have access to will include the seriousness of any accidents. The district attorney wants those changes to be effective in time for the start of the next school year.</p>
<p>This charge was sparked by the case of a school bus driver who was charged in a fatal crash in Montgomery County, who more than 10 years ago was also involved in an accident that killed a toddler. As it stands now, schools only have access to driving records dating back a decade.</p>
<p>The man at the center of the issue is school bus driver Frederick Poust, 38, of Schwenksville, Pa. He was charged with vehicular homicide after crashing into a car, killing its passenger Richard Taylor of Gilbertsville, Pa.</p>
<p>Poust had been cited in 1999 for careless driving in an accident where a 2-year-old girl died. That incident set up a national debate on cellphone use while driving.</p>

The financially ailing transit authority had a chance to settle the case for $3 million, but decided not to. <br /><br />The two victims then filed suit, and won the multi-million dollar award. ]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[More than 20 people on their way to a wedding were killed Wednesday when their bus fell into a river in India.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.upi.com/Top_News/International/2010/02/17/Bus-crash-in-India-kills-22/UPI-18901266410484/">http://www.upi.com/Top_News/International/2010/02/17/Bus-crash-in-India-kills-22/UPI-18901266410484/</a><br /><br />The accident took place in India’s northern Uttar Pradesh state, and killed an estimated 21 or 22 people, according to several press reports. Another 30 people from the bus were hurt during the incident n the village of Maharajpura.<br /><br />The bus fell into the Pujab River after using a makeshift bridge to cross the river because the regular bridge was having construction done. <a href="http://edition.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/asiapcf/02/17/india.bus/">http://edition.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/asiapcf/02/17/india.bus/</a><br /><br />Authorities were hunting for the bus’s driver, who fled from the scene of the accident. <br /><br />This story is so reminiscent of the bus crash that opens the movie Dragonfly, with Kevin Costner.  Such a horrible feeling to be in an out of control vehicle, falling off a cliff.  Buses of course are far more dangerous in such a crash because the air bags and seat belts that protect against many serious injuries in automobiles don&#8217;t exist in buses.  We pray that those who were hurt don&#8217;t get worse from brain injuries or other injuries that get lost in the shuffle of all of that tragedy.]]></content:encoded>
