A Fuel Tanker truck hit the right backside of a Broward County Transit bus sitting on the left soft shoulder of I-595. The incident happened at about 10:10 a.m. in the highway’s eastbound lane.
The Broward Transit bus experienced mechanical issues on its way to the starting point. However, the transit supervisor’s swift action ensured the safety of the bus operator and arranged for a replacement bus to continue the route, demonstrating the efficiency of the transit system.
Bus Waiting To Be Towed
While waiting for a tow truck, an oil tanker truck traveling in the same direction clipped the back of the bus. The truck traveled about a hundred yards and burst into flames. It appears the driver of the tanker truck did not fare well in this terrible incident.
Broward County Transit contracted its towing service to a private company. The lack of county-staffed tow trucks leads to long wait times for buses to be removed from the road.
Last year, the County purchased two tow trucks to expedite the removal of broken-down buses off the roadway. However, they are slow-walking efforts to implement BCT’s Tow service.
