(USGovernment-News.Com, March 08, 2013 ) TULSA, Okla. - On Thursday, a fatal school bus accident occurred south of Wewoka on Oklahoma 56 south. According to The Oklahoma Highway Patrol, a 19-year-old man was killed when his vehicle hit a Sasakwa school bus.
Investigators claim that the man was traveling southbound on Oklahoma 56 when he swerved to avoid a vehicle that was stopped behind the school bus while students were unloading. However, the man hit the vehicle in front of him and then struck the bus broadside. The man was pronounced dead at the accident scene.
The Oklahoma Highway Patrol reports that no students were injured in the accident.
The Edwards Law Firm wants Oklahoma residents to know that school bus accidents occur more often they may realize. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, on average, 24 children die every year in school-transportation-related crashes. The Tulsa personal injury law firm wants drivers to remain alert when sharing the road with school buses. Oftentimes, school bus crashes occur when children are embarking or disembarking from the vehicle.
Individuals that have been injured in bus accidents may be eligible for legal and financial recourse. For additional information about school bus accidents, visit The Edwards Law Firm’s website at www.edwardslawok.com.
