On February 16, 2012, about 8:15 a.m., near Chesterfield, New
Jersey, a Garden State Transport Corporation 2012 IC Bus, LLC,
school bus was transporting 25 students to Chesterfield Elementary
School. The bus was traveling north on Burlington County Road (BCR)
660, while a Herman's Trucking Inc. 2004 Mack roll-off truck with a
fully loaded dump container was traveling east on BCR 528,
approaching the intersection. The bus driver had stopped at the
flashing red traffic beacon and STOP sign. As the bus pulled away
from the white stop line and entered the intersection, it failed to
yield to the truck and was struck behind the left rear axle. The
bus rotated nearly 180 degrees and subsequently struck a traffic
beacon support pole. One bus passenger was killed. Five bus
passengers sustained serious injuries, 10 passengers and the bus
driver received minor injuries, and nine passengers and the truck
driver were uninjured. Major safety issues identified in this
investigation were school bus driver fatigue, sedating prescription
medications, medical conditions, and commercial driver's license
medical examinations; truck driver speed, oversight of overweight
commercial vehicles, brake maintenance, and final stage
manufacturing air brake system installation; connected vehicle
technology; and school bus occupant injuries and school bus
crashworthiness. The National Transportation Safety Board makes
recommendations to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration;
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration; states of
California, Florida, Louisiana, New Jersey, New York, and Texas;
National Truck Equipment Association; National Association of State
Directors of Pupil Transportation Services; National Association
for Pupil Transportation; National School Transportation
Association; School Bus Manufacturers Technical Council; National
Safety Council, School Transportation Section; and Herman's
Trucking Inc.
