Disney World Bus Crash Injured Infant Boy and 5-Year-Old Girl

A Disney World bus collision resulted in the injuries of a 5-year-old girl and 6-week-old infant boy.  The young girl bruised her face after she fell forward onto the bus seat.  The father of the two children had been holding the baby during the accident and fell toward a bus window, pushing the infant into the window.  All three family members went to a nearby hospital to be examined following the collision.

Approximately 50 passengers were on board each bus when the accident occurred.  Twelve people were treated for minor injuries at a local hospital.

Disney World buses are used to take guests back and forth between Disney resort hotels, theme parks, water parks and the Downtown Disney shopping center.  These buses tend to become crowded and guests sometimes have to stand up while the bus is in operation.

Bus safety is regulated differently than auto safety.  Recently, citizen action resulted in new safety belt requirements for school buses.  However, the majority of private and public transit buses do not have safety features, such as seat belts.  Injuries can occur even when a bus is traveling slowly, as was shown in the Disney World bus accident.
