WASHINGTON — A federal safety board on Tuesday cited driver fatigue as the cause of a Utah bus crash that killed nine and injured 43 others, but blamed inaction by another safety agency for the severity of the accident.
The National Transportation Safety Board voted unanimously to include the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s failure to implement motorcoach safety recommendations, which were made a decade ago, as a contributing factor in the severity.
NHTSA spokesman Rae Tyson said the agency was “working very hard” on motorcoach safety standards.
