A collision between a passenger vehicle\u2014like the Jeep in this incident\u2014and a large transit bus can cause significant impact forces. These crashes often result in injuries to drivers, bus riders, and even pedestrians nearby.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.7999999999999998;background-color: #ffffff;margin-top: 0pt;margin-bottom: 0pt;padding: 0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;font-family: Arial,sans-serif;color: #000000;background-color: transparent;font-weight: 400;font-style: normal;font-variant: normal;text-decoration: none;vertical-align: baseline\">Commuter routes stay active during early morning hours. When traffic builds up and visibility changes with sunrise, the risk of a collision increases. In busy city environments, even a single mistake can start a chain reaction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.7999999999999998;background-color: #ffffff;margin-top: 0pt;margin-bottom: 12pt\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;font-family: Arial,sans-serif;color: #000000;background-color: transparent;font-weight: 400;font-style: normal;font-variant: normal;text-decoration: none;vertical-align: baseline\">Victims in bus-related collisions often deal with injuries ranging from minor to severe. Because buses are large and heavy, passengers may be thrown forward or sideways during impact. Drivers in smaller vehicles may experience forceful collisions that lead to long-term complications. Some of the most common injuries seen in these types of crashes include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"margin-top: 0;margin-bottom: 0;padding-inline-start: 48px\">\n<li dir=\"ltr\"
