| 摘要： | On Saturday, July 2, 2016, about 5:16 a.m., a 1979 Blue Bird bus, operated by Billy R. Evans Harvesting, Inc., of Belle Glade, Florida, was traveling south on State Road 363, near St. Marks, Florida, when it was struck by a westbound 2005 Freight-liner truck-tractor semitrailer at the US Highway 98 (US-98) intersection. The bus driver had failed to stop at the intersection, where traffic was controlled by a stop sign and overhead flashing red traffic control beacons. Overhead flashing yellow traffic control beacons controlled traffic on US-98. The truck-tractor struck the left side of the bus, resulting in the rapid counterclockwise rotation of the truck-tractor and the breach of its right-side-mounted diesel fuel tank, which ignited a fire. The front of the semitrailer then struck the left side of the bus. The bus was occupied by the driver and 33 passengers, most of whom were migrant agricultural (AG) workers. The truck-tractor—operated by Verity Van Lines, Inc., of Seafood, New York—was occupied by the driver and a passenger. The truck driver and three bus passengers died. The bus driver, 28 bus passengers, and a passenger in the sleeper berth of the truck were injured. The crash investigation focused on the following safety issues: transportation of AG workers, intersection safety, heavy truck fuel tank integrity, and occupant protection. The NTSB made new safety recommendations to the US Department of Labor; the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA); the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration; the Florida Department of Transportation; SAE International; nine highway, municipal, safety, and engineering associations; the American Bus Association; and the United Motorcoach Association. The NTSB also reiterated one recommendation to the FMCSA and one to the state of Florida, and reiterated and reclassified one recommendation to the FMCSA. |
