Driver Involved in Baltimore County School Bus Accident Injured
There is no question that the safety of children is a daily concern of parents, teachers, and anyone responsible for taking children into their care. School bus drivers in particular base their career on ensuring that children are transported to and from school without experiencing any danger or harm. Part of a school bus driver’s job is to uphold this important responsibility. Although it may not be as obvious, motorists of all vehicles on the road must take the well-being of children into consideration as well, particularly when a child is crossing the street, riding a bike, or is a passenger on a bus or in a car.
With the above points in mind, a recent accident involving a school bus and a small passenger car sent out ripples of concern amongst parents of Harford students who were traveling to school on the morning of November 11, 2009. According to a baltimoresun.com article, the school bus transporting the Harford County students to the Maryland School for the Blind was hit by a small passenger vehicle. It was reported that neither the students nor the bus driver were injured, however, the driver of the other vehicle did sustain injury. At the time of this writing no additional information regarding the injured driver has been released.
When auto accidents similar to the aforementioned incident take place, investigations are often conducted to determine who was at fault for causing the collision. In some cases, it may be examined whether or not alcohol played a determining factor. Other forms of negligence that have been known to contribute to auto accidents include distracted driving, dangerous road conditions, and defective auto parts. In any instance where another person’s negligence contributes to an auto accident, he or she may be held legally responsible for property damage and any expenses associated with subsequent injuries of others involved in the accident.
