A Huntsville City school bus has flipped off I-565 near the Church Street overpass in Huntsville critically injuring at least 30 students.

The bus was enroute from Lee High School to Drake State Technical College.

Laidlaw is the contractor that runs the busses. Laidlaw also runs the busses for Florence city schools.

The State of Alabama does not require school busses to have seat belts.

Laidlaw has contracts all over the country, probably lucky there are not more accidents. I doubt that laidlaw nor the bus driver did anything intentionally.

Can anyone verify that ANY school busses either have or are required to have seat belts? I have followed this battle in LA where belts were not required either. I wonder what the argument is for not providing seatbelts?
