Bus design blamed for Congers deaths
Safety investigators blamed a weak structural design for two student deaths in a Congers New York bus crash last year. The National Transportation Safety Board noted the train at 25 mph caused the worst injuries, with floor separation ejecting some occupants as the bus disintegrated. The report cited standing riders and lack of seat belts as contributing factors and said the bus construction was typical of current practice.
