A severely fatigued motorcoach driver who lost control of the vehicle was the cause of a horrific crash in New York City last March, according to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB).
Federal, state and local police are conducting thousands of surprise safety inspections of motorcoaches, tour buses, school buses and other passenger vehicles across the country in conjunction with the national Motorcoach Safety Summit in Washington, D.C., sponsored by the US Department of Transportation's Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA).
