Another near miss for Megabus
Megabus, the low-cost bus company which was in the news in August because of a crash on the Illinois Interstate that left one passenger dead and a dozen injured, is in the news again and not in a good way.
A Megabus traveling from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh on the Pennsylvania Turnpike swerved on the road at high speed between two tractor trailers. The driver of the bus had passed out and a quick-thinking passenger with a commercial drivers’ license had taken the wheel, attempting to steer the bus from the passed out driver’s lap.
Local network, Channel 4 News Pittsburgh reported that the two tractor trailer buses were helping the passenger steer the bus. They say that the driver had passed out because she did not have her blood pressure medication.
No passengers were injured and Megabus sent a relief driver who finally piloted the vehicle safely to Pittsburgh. Megabus told local media that, "The driver who took ill is doing well and will receive further checks from the doctor. Safety is our absolute priority and, as a matter of course, we are investigating the incident. We apologize to Megabus passengers for the disruption to their trip."
There was no comment on why the driver in the incident was at the wheel and on the road without needed medications.
