Although the incident remains under investigation, we could review possible causes of the incident. Considering that the bus is the vehicle that crashed with the train, some possible causes to consider can include the following: bus driver medical emergencies, bus driver negligence (i.e., speeding, failing to yield when turning left, ignoring traffic signs and signals (including train warning signs), driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, driving while fatigued, bus mechanical failure/malfunction, etc.

USC offers students, faculty, guests, and the local community “an extensive network of free buses” that serve the main campus, the North University Park neighborhood, the university’s Parking Center, the Health Sciences Campus, and more. Buses are common carriers, so the owners/operators of these buses owe their passengers the highest duty of care. On this basis, USC could have strict liability when it comes to any injuries sustained by USC Transport Bus passengers (such as the one bus passenger injured in the accident discussed above). What about victims injured on the train? If the authorities determine that the accident was caused by USC’s negligence – whether this is due to driver error, mechanical failure, negligent hiring, or more – then injured train passengers could have grounds to sue USC. Depending on the circumstances, claimants could potentially have the right to sue LA Metro.
