Statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) indicate that children are most at risk during boarding and exiting, as well as when other vehicles fail to comply with school bus safety laws. This incident in Humphreys County highlights the ongoing need for vigilance and safety measures in school transportation.
