Forth Worth car accident involving public transit bus kills one, injures three

A Forth Worth public transit bus rear-ended two vehicles on Friday, killing one and injuring three others in a chain-reaction multi-car accident.

The 5-vehicle accident took place in the eastbound lanes of Interstate 820 shortly before 6pm. According to the Fort Worth Transportation Authority operations manager, a vehicle stopped short in front of the bus, which was a one of Fort Worth’s “T” special needs buses, a bus that is outfitted specifically to transport the disabled and elderly.

The bus rear-ended the vehicle, which then slammed into a second car. All three vehicles went up in flames.  

Two people were taken to Dallas area hospitals in critical condition. A third was taken to a Forth Worth hospital in stable condition.

The driver of the bus, 34-year-old Ronnie Ware, incurred minor burns on his arms and hands while helping the bus’s single passenger to safety. The passenger was not injured.
