Scene of the Accident
Commentary
News reports say that the bus was parked when the accident occurred. Already, our picture of the accident begins to come into focus. When someone hits a parked vehicle, it’s usually because they’re not paying attention to what’s around them. If a few friends were out having a good time, it’s possible that alcohol was involved, although that’s only speculation on my part. In any case, it seems as if the accident is the fault of the driver of the second vehicle. The driver would be liable for the passengers in that vehicle, and really anyone who was injured in the accident. A driver has an obligation to create a safe environment for those he’s driving with, and not paying attention to the road and rear-ending a bus, if that turns out to be what happened, would not be fulfilling that obligation.
