At around 8:00 a.m. on Tuesday, September 1, 2009, two Jefferson County school buses and a TARC bus were involved in an accident. The accident happened near 32nd Street and Greenwood Avenue when one of the school buses rear-ended the other school bus and the TARC bus.
Several people were taken to the hospital for injuries, which included neck and back pain. Among those that sought treatment were the drivers of the school buses and passengers on the TARC bus. Fortunately, no children were aboard the school buses at the time of the accident.
With school back in session in Jefferson County, the presence of buses on Louisville Metro roads has increased. The increase of school buses along with the presence of TARC transportation raises the important issue of bus safety. While a rear end collision can cause serious problems for automobile drivers, these collisions have the potential for even more serious problems for drivers and passengers of buses.
