evidence: - Occupants of other vehicles are most likely to die in a school bus accident. [...] In looking at who is most likely to suffer a fatality in a school bus crash, we found that occupants of other vehicles are far more likely to be killed than any other type of person (763 fatalities). Pedestrians are the second most likely to be killed (169 fatalities), followed by school bus occupants, which includes school bus drivers and passengers (111 fatalities). The type of person who is least likely to be injured in a school bus crash includes bicycle, e-bicycle, skateboard, scooter, and wheelchair users (39 fatalities). The significant number of fatalities among occupants of other vehicles can be attributed to the weight and size disparity between school buses and standard cars. School buses typically weigh between 15,000 to 36,000 pounds, while the average car weighs about 4,000 pounds. Therefore, in the event of a collision between a passenger vehicle and a school bus, the likelihood of severe injury or wrongful death for the car’s occupants is considerably high.
