Depending on the circumstances of this accident the driver and the drivers employer may bear some liability for the crash. While some accidents especially in detrimental weather conditions may be unavoidable drivers of commercial buses must drive per the conditions of the road. However there may have been other factors that may have contributed to this unfortunate wreck like some kind of mechanical failure or the involvement of another vehicle. While such accidents are always unfortunate in the physical toll that they often take on bus passengers its fortunate that nothing worse occurred.
