The Greyhound bus crash shortly before 4 a.m. on Saturday morning in Ohio on I-75 near the Butler Regional Highway resulted in no fatalities. Out of the 51 passengers in the bus, six people were taken to hospitals in helicopters, and more than two dozen people were taken to hospitals in ambulances.
The uninjured passengers involved in the Greyhound bus going from Cincinnati to Detroit were expected to get back on a Greyhound bus to return to Cincinnati - one of the last things some of the passengers wanted to do.
According to a Greyhound spokesperson, the 64-year-old driver of the bus, Dwayne Garrett, was well rested and the bus just had undergone its major annual inspection 14 days ago.
However, as passengers report in the above video, the bus driver was slumped over at the wheel at the time of the Greyhound bus crash when it lost control, tumbled off I-75, and flipped over in a cornfield.
In regard to Saturday's Greyhound bus crash and Greyhound's bus operation, there are three major questions:
1. How does Greyhound assure that their drivers are indeed "well rested" at 4 a.m. in the morning as claimed by a Greyhound's spokesperson?
2. What kind of medical check-ups do Greyhound bus drivers receive, especially at the age of 64?
3. Can passengers really be expected to get back on a Greyhound bus after having been involved in a Greyhound bus crash?
We'll keep an eye out for follow-up news on those Greyhound topics.
