11 Taken To Hospitals In Fort Worth Bus Collision | DFW Accident Attorney Mark A. Anderson
Eleven people were taken to hospitals Tuesday night after a Fort Worth City bus called the T and a Nissan collided at the south end of downtown. The wreck occurred about 7:20 p.m. at East Lancaster Avenue and Calhoun Street. The bus was traveling through a green light when it was struck by the Nissan.
The driver of the Nissan and 10 of the 28 passengers on the bus were taken to hospitals and none of the injuries appeared to be life-threatening. Another bus was called and the remaining passengers continued on their route about 45 minutes later. The Fort Worth Police Department as well as the Fort Worth Transportation Authority, are still investigating the bus crash.
A thorough investigation is pretty typical for bus crashes like this. I am glad to hear that all of the injuries in both parties seemed to be okay considering studies show accidents involving busses account for 8% of vehicles involved in fatal crashes. Hopefully since the injuries are non-life-threatening all 11 people didn’t have to stay the night in the hospital.
