Bus crashes can cause serious injuries and even death. Unfortunately, bus accidents seem to be appearing in the news all too often.

Over the weekend, a Greyhound bus overturned on the Pennsylvania Turnpike. The bus driver lost control of the bus, crossing the highway and going up an embankment before flipping the bus on its side. Boston.com states the following:

The bus from New York City stopped in Philadelphia and had traveled about 75 miles westbound on the turnpike when it overturned at about 6 a.m. Saturday on the way to a stop in Columbus, Ohio.

The driver, identified as 24-year-old Kareem Edward Farmer of Philadelphia, lost control of the bus while traveling in the passing lane, sending the vehicle careering across the highway and up an embankment before it landed on its side on the interstate, briefly trapping a woman, authorities said.
