摘要: On October 21, 1999, about 10:30 a.m. near Central Bridge, New York, a school bus was transporting 44 students and 8 adults on a field trip. The bus was traveling north on State Route 30A as it approached the intersection with State Route 7. Concurrently, a dump truck, towing a utility trailer, was traveling west on State Route 7. As the bus approached the intersection, it failed to stop as required and was struck by the dump truck. Seven bus passengers sustained serious injuries; 28 bus passengers and the truck driver received minor injuries. Thirteen bus passengers, the bus driver, and the truck passenger were uninjured. The major safety issues discussed in this report are potential for passenger injuries as a result of the school bus emergency exit door design, the potential for passenger injuries as a result of school bus seat cushion bottoms that are removable or hinged, and the adequacy of commercial vehicle airbrake inspections. As a result of this accident investigation, the Safety Board issued recommendations to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, the National Association of State Directors of Pupil Transportation Services, the Maintenance Council of the American Trucking Associations, and the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance. In addition, safety recommendations were reiterated to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
