We have discussed the frequent tour bus rashes that are currently occurring. As a bus accident and truck accident attorney I see a need for greater enforcement of safety regulations. Bus travel can be and should be safe. A tour bus from Canada with approximately 60 people flipped over near New York City last week. It occurred on the eastbound I 80 outside of New York. The bus is owned by Toronto-based AVM Max 2000 charter services, Inc. Avoidable bus accidents are becoming far too common.
