| 摘要： | On March 29, 2017, about 12:20 p.m., a 2007 Dodge Ram 3500 pickup truck, occupied by a 20-year-old driver, was traveling north on US Highway 83, near Concan, Texas, when it crossed into the southbound lane and collided with a medium-size bus. The crash occurred near milepost 553.4, near the end of a right-hand curve. The 2004 Ford E350 Turtle Top Van Terra medium-size bus was occupied by a 66-year-old driver and 13 passengers and operated by the First Baptist Church of New Braunfels, Texas. Two people also traveling north in a vehicle directly behind the truck reported its activity to law enforcement and recorded a 14.5-minute cell phone video. The Texas Department of Public Safety reviewed the video and determined that the truck was visible for 12 minutes 48 seconds. In the video, the truck crosses the white edgeline bordering the right side of the roadway 37 times and moves into the grassy area beyond on at least five occasions. For much of the video, the truck straddles the edgeline and rarely travels within the lane markings. In addition, the truck crosses the yellow centerline 19 times and is fully in the opposing lane of travel at least once. As a result of the crash, the bus driver and 12 passengers were fatally injured. The driver of the truck and one bus passenger were seriously injured. The crash investigation focused on the following safety issues: drug-impaired driving and medium-size bus seat belt systems. The NTSB made safety recommendations to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the state of Texas, the Texas Department of Transportation, several medium-size bus manufacturers, and two seating manufacturers. The report also reiterated one recommendation to NHTSA. |
