A Palm Beach County accident involving a pickup truck and a Palm Tran bus has injured 11 people including the driver of the pickup truck. According to the Sun Sentinel's report, it is unknown yet which vehicle had the right of way in this crash, which took place in West Palm Beach on September 19, 2011.
As Coral Springs injury lawyers who handle all types of motor vehicle accidents including bus and truck accidents, we are familiar with the types of injuries that bus passengers involved in an accident can suffer. These injuries are typically more severe than a car accident because buses are not equipped with safety belts. A bus accident can lead to injuries including head injuries, traumatic brain injury (TBI), spinal cord injury, broken bones, lacerations, and in some cases, death.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, there were 8,452 deadly accidents, and 376,000 injury accidents involving pickup trucks in the U.S. in 2009. By comparison, far fewer bus accidents took place that same year, with 221 fatal accidents and approximately 10,000 injuries.
