Gainesville, FL (October 25, 2018) - Several bus passengers were hurt in a rear-end collision with a vehicle in Gainesville on Thursday, October 25th.
The accident happened just after 6:23 am on Archer Road and 66th Street. The Florida Highway Patrol responded to the crash scene. When officials arrived, they discovered that a Gainesville Regional Transit System bus had been involved in a crash with a 2014 Ford van. The driver of the van, 50-year-old Rayford Payne, rear-ended the bus as it was stopped in the right lane to receive passengers.
The injured passengers were taken to an area hospital to receive treatment. None of the injuries are believed to be life-threatening. FHP troopers cited Payne for careless driving.
There are over 250,000 injury accidents that occur in Florida each year. In every injury accident, police officers will investigate the crash in an effort to determine the cause of the collision. When a crash involves a rear-end collision, such as this crash, the driver causing the rear-end collision will almost always be at fault.
