Bus Driver Falls Asleep, Crashes Into Bus Stop | Orange County Bus Accident Attorneys

An MTA bus driver fell asleep and crashed into a bus stop at around 1:30 a.m. last Monday morning, authorities said. The 40-year-old driver lost control of the vehicle on Main Street in Willowbrook, toppling signs, a lamp pole, and several trees in the crash. The driver sustained cuts on her hands and was taken to Memorial Hospital of Gardena for treatment. Fortunately, there were no passengers on the bus and no pedestrians at the bus stop at the time of the incident.
