It's not looking good for Disney's transportation department. Yet another bus crash occurred today, this one at East Buena Vista and World Drive, involving a Disney bus, a Chevy SUV, and another Disney GMC van. The bus driver, age 80, was charged with careless driving. It appears that the driver failed to see the SUV stopped at a light and rear-ended the vehicle which, in turn, rear-ended the Disney van. Fortunately, no injuries were reported. You can read the full story here.
This most recent collision comes on the heels of Thursday's tragic accident that killed a 9-year-old boy. And just over a week earlier, on March 24, a WDW bus driver was involved in a two-bus incident that sent eight people to are hospitals with injuries.
Considering the sheer volume of vehicles, Cast Members, and guests that travel in and around Walt Disney World daily, accidents are bound to occur. Still, when you take into account the recent monorail tragedy, as well as multiple Cast Member injuries and deaths, it seems that it may be time for Disney to take stock and evaluate some of its training and safety measures.
