bus accident

Public transport wreck

A bus accident is a collision or crash involving a bus, whether with another vehicle, pedestrian, or stationary object.

The term covers everything from minor fender-benders to catastrophic crashes: Twelve people were hospitalized after the bus accident on the highway.

Because buses carry many passengers, bus accidents often make news even when injuries are minor.
