Summary:

A tour bus from Canada carrying 57 people bound for New York overturned on a highway exit ramp in northern New Jersey and flipped on its side and injuring more then 19 people. The bus driver said that someone else cut him off which caused the accident. It was not clear enough whether that caused the accident around 7:30 a.m. on eastbound interstate 80 in Wayne. Many were injured during the crash but some of the injuries were minor. Eight others were in critical condition and were taken to hospitals immediately. The State police assessed the situation and said that none of the injuries were life threatening. Carrying 57 people, the rest of the people continued their journey on another bus.


My Opinion:

I think that this a complete accident by the bus driver when he flipped the bus. I don't know if someone cut him of and he was telling the truth but none of the passengers said that he did it on purpose. Accidents do happen and this was a complete mistake from the bus driver. Do I think that he should get his licensed suspended? I do but not for that long. He did not do this purposely, although he did injure more then 19 people that were on the bus at the time.
