DEADLY TOUR BUS ACCIDENT UPDATE: DRIVER ERROR LIKELY CAUSE. LOS ANGELES BUS CRASH LAWYERS ARE HERE FOR YOU.
The California Highway Patrol (CHP) has released a preliminary report regarding the deadly tour bus crash that killed 5 people in Soledad recently. As cited in an earlier blog, the tour bus, operated by Orion Pacific, was carrying visitors from France when it crashed on the 101 in Northern California. Four passengers and the driver were killed in the accident that happened on a freeway overpass.
Per the new report, driver error seems the likely cause of the fatal accident. It appears that the driver poorly negotiated the overpass curve, and as a result, the bus slammed into the guardrail and turned over. Other possible causes for the crash, including driving under the influence, mechanical failure, poor road design or conditions and weather, were ruled out. Bus accidents, whether they involve school buses, tour buses or public transit buses, can involve multiple parities, such as the leasing company, owner, driver or municipality.
