Horrific Charter Bus Crash in PA Kills Seton Hill University Lacross Team Coach

A Horrific Charter Bus Crash in PA Kills Seton Hall University Lacrosse Coach and her Unborn Child.  The one car accident occurred on a long straight stretch of the Pennsylvania Turnpike leaving investigators to wonder as to the cause of the accident.  The matter is even more confounding as it occurred at 9 am, at time when drivers should be well rested and alert.  However, our experience and national statistics tells us that many Charter industry drivers are in adequately trained, not monitored properly by their employers, frequently exceed Federal and State time limits for driving and do not get required rest between charters.  This is particularly true during high demand times of the year for bus charters.  We are currently in playoff season for many NCAA and NAIA athletic sports including basketball and lacrosse.  Additionally, baseball and track seasons are heating while wedding, spring break and high school dance all place addition demands on charter operators.  This combined with recent cutback in staffing and vehicles in these business create a situation ripe for disasters such as these.  In fact, this has been the THIRD accident involving charter buses carrying athletic teams in Central Pennsylvania since Feb. 27th!  An astounding statistic and the consequences of each accident are devastating.
