Buses cited in fatal March crash still on the road

Almost seven months after the Interstate 95 bus accident in New York that killed 15 people and caused federal officials to revoke a bus company's registration, buses operated under the old company are back on the road under new names. According to state officials, the company's buses were moved to operate as part of the two other companies owned by the same man who managed operations of World Wide Travel, whose registration was revoked.

Following the deadly accident that authorities blamed on poor safety standards and a fatigued driver, the company was also cited for failure to improve workplace conditions in the time immediately following the March 12 crash. Following the incident, the driver of the bus was indicted for manslaughter, among other charges. The primary issue in the license revocation was an accusation that the company did not enforce rules surrounding drivers' hours of service.

Arrive Alive Tour offers drunk driving lessons to New York students

In a recent scheduled stop at Cayuga Community College in New York, the Arrive Alive Tour simulation helped students understand the inherent dangers in drunk driving with the hopes of limiting the amount of drunk driving accidents across the state. The Sept. 26 visit was one of the most recent stops in the program's tour, which travels across the country offering educational materials to college students, with special emphasis on the wrongful death that can arise from a drunk driving crash.

For students, the most popular portion of the tour is the drunk driving simulator, which provides a look into what it's like to drive while intoxicated. Simulator participants are given a set of goggles that emulate the impairment faced by drunk drivers. The goggles are set to a blood alcohol level of 0.081, just above New York's designation of "intoxicated."
