Driving fatigue accidents involving buses or vans can be extremely deadly when they occur, usually because most of the occupants are not wearing seatbelts. In addition, they are also likely to occur at high speeds.
A recent bus accident in Washington illustrates the danger of driving fatigue. According to the Gaea News, a charter bus carrying 53 passengers drove over the side of a cliff, killing nine passengers. Most of the occupants were ejected from the bus. An NTSB investigation cited driver fatigue as the primary cause of the accident.
