US EditionDrive Fatigue, Lack of Overnight Truck Parking Contributed to Deadly Bus Crash: Regulators
- A Greyhound bus crashed into three semitrailers at a rest area east of St. Louis on July 12, 2023, killing three people and injuring 12 aboard.
- The National Transportation Safety Board found driver fatigue, poor company oversight, and a critical shortage of overnight truck parking led to the crash.
- The westbound bus entered the rest area at 1:48 a.m., struck trucks illegally parked on a ramp where parking is banned but seldom enforced.
- The board cited the driver's four prior accidents, two preventable, and repeated speeding caught by electronic records, while noting insufficient safe parking for 13 million rigs.
- Regulators emphasized that the crash could have been avoided and cautioned that until the critical problem of truck parking shortages is resolved, public safety on highways remains at serious risk.
