Passengers can be injured if a SEPTA bus has an accident with another motor vehicle. The impact of the crash can cause injuries to the SEPTA passengers. Injuries can also be caused by rapid acceleration or sudden stops. When a SEPTA vehicle makes sudden turns, stops or accelerations, passengers can be thrown around which can lead to whiplash, broken bones, concussions and many other injuries.
The other people at risk are pedestrians. SEPTA vehicles are often operated in high foot trafficked areas. SEPTA accidents involving pedestrians can lead to severe injuries or even death.
Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) is one of the largest public transportation operators. SEPTA operates many different modes of transportation, including Buses, Trolleys and Trains.
