Causes of HART Bus Crashes

There are many factors that can contribute to bus accidents, including:

  • Reckless driving, such as speeding and dangerous lane changes
  • Driver fatigue
  • Distracted driving, such as texting while driving
  • Driver intoxication or drug use
  • Failure to adhere to the basic rules of the road
