Protect Your Legal Rights with a Bastrop Bus Accident Lawyer
A catastrophic tour bus accident occurred Tuesday, March 7, claiming the lives of three passengers and sending 35 others to area hospitals. Although the accident took place in Biloxi, Mississippi, the passengers on the ill-fated bus were all, or nearly all, thought to be residents of Bastrop, Texas. Indeed, the killed and injured passengers are all likely members of the Bastrop Senior Center on special trip to a Biloxi casino.
The possibility sadly exists that the death toll associated with the accident may rise. Some of the men and women rushed to area hospitals are said to have sustained serious injuries which potentially could be life-threatening.
The horrific scene unfolded when the Bastrop tour bus somehow ended up stuck on railroad tracks. The Bastrop bus was snared on the tracks for about when before a freight train barreled into the bus. A few passengers were able to jump out of the rear door of the trapped bus seconds before the deadly collision occurred.
Rescue workers were still trying to extract victims from the wrecked bus a full 30 minutes after they initially arrived on the scene. The passengers were on the first leg of a week-long adventure, which ended in horror on Tuesday afternoon.
Investigators have commenced examining the sequence of events that lead to the devastating tour bus and train accident. The National Transportation Safety Board is sending its expert "Go Team" to begin a close analysis of the accident. They are expected to be on scene Wednesday morning, the day after the accident.
