A 1992 Van Hool tour bus traveling on the Garden State Parkway from Brooklyn, NY to Atlantic City, NJ crashed thru a guardrail and rolled down an embankment in Sayreville, New Jersey on December 24, 1998. Headed to Atlantic City for a fun day at the casinos, the bus had 22 passengers. 8 passengers died, and 14 passengers were injured in addition to the bus driver. The bus had been leased to Bruins Transportation, Inc. by ABC Bus Leasing, Inc.
In the Media
Investigators with New Jersey State Police and the National Transportation Safety Board are looking into what could have contributed to or caused the bus crash including, driver error, the height and length of the guardrails on the Garden State Parkway and whether the bus was equipped with an antilock brake system (ABS).
