Greyhound Bus Accident Injures Six

Six people were hurt in a bus accident in Robinson, Pennsylvania after a sport utility vehicle crashed into a Greyhound bus which was traveling from New York City to St. Louis. Police said the auto accident occurred on the southbound ramp to the Interstate 79 near the parkway in Robinson. According to this news report, driver of the SUV, 26-year-old Michael Kuzo, was reportedly speeding when he rear-ended the Greyhound bus. The SUV then spun out of control and rolled over several times. Kuzo was extricated from the vehicle and is in the hospital with critical injuries. The bus was carrying 55 passengers. Five passengers were treated for injuries at local hospitals.

Taking the bus is a way of life for New Yorkers. Be it a bus, taxi or the subway, public transportation is something we use everyday to get to work, school, social events and other destinations. In some cases, bus accidents are caused by other motorists. But in many cases, bus accidents occur because of driver negligence, an impaired driver, lack of proper bus maintenance or a product defect.
