Investigation launched by federal authorities into fatal Mississippi bus crash that left 7 dead and many injured


Seven people were killed and dozens injured in a bus crash in Mississippi, with investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board looking into tire maintenance as a possible cause. The 2018 Volvo bus, operated by Autobuses Regiomontanos, was traveling from Atlanta to Dallas with 41 passengers and two drivers when it overturned on Interstate 20 near Bovina in Warren County. Six people were pronounced dead on the scene and another died at a hospital. Among the victims were a 6-year-old boy and his 16-year-old sister.

The NTSB will also examine the carrier’s safety record and protections for bus occupants. The transit company claims to have 20 years of experience providing cross-border trips between Mexico and the U.S. The highway patrol did not provide an update on the conditions of the injured passengers. The crash has raised questions about the company’s maintenance practices and safety protocols. Autobuses Regiomontanos promotes their modern fleet of buses with daily maintenance and special prices for workers on their website.

The investigation is ongoing as authorities work to identify all the victims and determine the exact cause of the crash. The tragic incident highlights the importance of proper maintenance and safety measures in the transport industry to prevent such devastating accidents in the future.
