Recent Rash of School Bus Accidents Nationwide Raises Concerns
In the past week, the United States saw four bus accidents in just two days. In Indiana, a student and a driver were both killed when a school bus crashed into a bridge support. In Missouri, eleven students suffered broken bones and other injuries when their bus rolled into a ditch, the result of a distracted driver. Washington State and Ohio also saw crashes that left dozens of students injured, some seriously.

Nevertheless, about 17,000 children are treated for school bus accident injuries each year, leading many to question whether a federal law should require seat belts in all school buses. Currently, only buses under 10,000 pounds are required to have seat belts under federal law, although six states also require them in all buses.
