In May 2005, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) began
its investigation of a school bus accident that occurred in
Liberty, Missouri. During the course of the investigation,
information was uncovered that suggested pedal misapplication as a
factor in the accident-that is, depressing the accelerator instead
of, or in addition to, the brake pedal. The NTSB subsequently
investigated four additional accidents-in Falls Township and
Newtown, Pennsylvania; Asbury Park, New Jersey; and Nanuet, New
York-involving heavy vehicles in which pedal misapplication was
determined to be a factor. Despite varying circumstances, these
five accidents share common elements. In all five, the drivers
either reported a loss of braking or were observed by vehicle
occupants to be unsuccessfully attempting to stop the vehicles,
though no evidence of braking system failure was found.
