Risks of Bus Accidents on Major Highways
Collisions involving large commercial vehicles like buses often result in severe or fatal outcomes due to the size and weight of these vehicles. Intersections on major highways, such as K-7 Highway in Lansing, can be particularly dangerous, especially during high-traffic hours. Kansas transportation authorities emphasize the importance of cautious driving around large vehicles and remind drivers to remain vigilant and follow all traffic signals to reduce accident risks.
Losing a loved one in a tragic accident is overwhelming, and understanding available legal support can provide guidance during such a difficult time.
