| 摘要： | On March 28, 2000, about 6:40 a.m. (sunrise was at 6:33 a.m.), a CSXT Transportation, Inc., freight train traveling 51 mph struck the passenger side of a Murray County, Georgia, School District school bus at a railroad/highway grade crossing near Conasauga, Tennessee. The accident occurred as the school bus was crossing the tracks at a speed of approximately 15 mph. During the accident sequence, the driver and three children were ejected. Two ejected passengers received serious injuries and one was fatally injured. The driver, who had been wearing a lap/shoulder belt that broke during the crash sequence, received minor injuries. Of the four passengers who remained inside the bus, two were fatally injured, one sustained serious injuries, and one, who was restrained by a lap belt, received minor injuries. The two train crewmembers were not injured. The following major safety issues were identified in this accident: the bus driver's performance; school district oversight, including bus driver monitoring and evaluation procedures and bus routing; passive grade crossing safety, including previous initiatives related to passive grade crossing and school bus safety; and occupant kinematics and survival factors. As a result of this accident investigation, the National Transportation Safety Board makes recommendations to the States, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Federal Highway Administration, the Georgia Department of Education, the National Association of State Directors of Pupil Transportation Services, and the school bus manufacturers. The Safety Board also reiterates a recommendation to the U.S. Department of Transportation. |
