Terrifying School Bus Accidents

These were terrifying school bus accidents. In 2018, a school bus driver ignored a barricade and tried driving through a flooded road in Texas. In 2018, a school bus slid out of control on a street full of black ice. In 2015, a school bus dragged a first grader after her backpack was caught in the doors. And the bus driver had no idea she was trapped. Inside Edition Digital’s Andrea Swindall has more.

The driver who played games with he kids needs a raise she did amazing with the kids . That's the kind of ppl we want looking after our children when we can't be around.

The driver was charged with 4 counts of reckless driving. The crash happened right outside of the school, in front of teachers.

I’m really sorry for the victims and their families. This is awful and sometimes can’t be helped. I live in Florida. It gets extremely hot in the summer. When my sons were in Middle School, they called me and said the bus driver hit a car ( bus driver’s fault this time ). My sons told me where they were and that it was extremely hot because the bus’s ac didn’t work. I drove to where they were. The bus driver said she “ couldn’t let my sons off the bus”. I said “ Watch me”. I walked right past her, took my sons and 2 of their close friends off the bus. Their faces were red and they were sweating profusely. I was so angry that the rest of the kids had to stay there. I brought water bottles for the other kids and called the DOT. Don’t ever tell me I can’t take my kids from anywhere, especially a hot broken down school bus. It’s the equivalent of leaving a baby in a hot car . Most of the windows were stuck. I guess I’m still angry at “ school bus policy “.

I don't get why they would send you to prison with a lengthy sentence if you crashed into a school bus because you didn't follow the rules.

In a weird way, it makes me feel a little bit better that the accidents in most of these stories were not caused by a mistake on the driver’s part.

It’s slightly comforting to me to see that the majority of the drivers were making the right decisions to keep the kids in their care safe.

As a school bus driver/ mechanic, most students would not wear seatbelts in the first place and enforcing it would be a nightmare. Then the number one safety issue would be fires. All buses i work on have wooden flooring topped with rubber mat and under coated in a spay tar now add hot exhaust, fuels (diesel or gas) and electrical wires covering everything. In the event of a fire you have two minutes to evacuate after that injury and death chances double every ten seconds.
