Spokane Transit Authority Reopens Investigation into Double-Decker Bus Crash

The Spokane Transit Authority is reopening its investigation into a January eighteenth bus crash that injured seven people and caused over four hundred fifty thousand dollars in damage. The crash occurred when a double-decker bus attempted to pass under a railroad viaduct on Cedar Street, resulting in a height discrepancy.

The initial report blamed the driver and a navigation software glitch, which affected multiple vehicles that day. However, a newly discovered call to dispatch on the day of the crash has prompted a change. The agency plans an independent review to check all facts and what dispatch did with the warning.

Double-decker buses returned to service February twenty-first with new safety steps, including extra height training, disabled navigation systems for now, and stops before viaducts. STA will share updates as the review continues.
