Houston Accident Attorneys Look at Possible Causes of Two Recent Texas School Bus Wrecks, One of Them Fatal

This weekend saw two serious school bus accidents in Texas. One involved a university bus belonging to Abilene Christian University on Friday, November 4, 2011. That accident resulted in one student's tragic death and the critical injury of four others.
The other accident involved two Houston I.S.D. buses and sent at least 10 students to the hospital with injuries. Both accidents are under investigation, and investigators are looking at a number of possible causative factors in the school bus wrecks.
In the Abilene area accident, the university bus carrying the students to a mission trip in Medina, TX suddenly veered off the highway and overturned. Reports say that the 34-year-old bus driver suddenly lost control of the bus as it entered a bend in the road on U.S. Highway 83 near Ballinger. Then the bus struck a concrete culvert and made a complete rollover. The horrific accident took the life of Abilene Christian University student Anabel Reid and left four other passengers with critical injuries. State Trooper Phillip Dean said witnesses are being interviewed and a lot of possibilities are being considered regarding the cause of the Abilene Christian University bus crash.
Some possibilities might leap immediately to your mind:

• Driver distraction.
  Excessive speed on a curve.
  Driver fatigue.
  Driver impairment with medications or alcohol.

The surviving family members of Ms. Reid no doubt want answers regarding the loss of this innocent student who was on her way to selflessly give her time in a mission to others.
In the Houston I.S.D. bus accident on Friday, two school buses leaving Worthing High School at the end of the school day collided. The leading school bus was stopped at a stop sign when the other bus rear-ended it. Houston I.S.D. officials say that 33 students occupied the two school buses and that 10 of them received transport to a local hospital following the wreck. What caused this accident?

• Driver distraction?
  Brake failure?
  Driver impairment with drugs or alcohol?
  Driver fatigue?
