On May 4, 2013, a young mother died after falling off a
party bus and being run over by multiple vehicles. The accident occurred Saturday
night around 9 PM on Interstate 35 in Kansas City. The 26 year-old mother fell
out of a party bus and onto a highway where she was hit and killed by three
vehicles.
On the party bus were 15 other friends who were celebrating
a bachelorette party. Somehow, the young mother fell out of the bus through the
emergency door. Out of the three cars that hit the 26 year-old, only the second
car stopped. The driver of the second vehicle reported trying to dodge her, but
could not do so in time. The 26 year-old just recently gave birth two months
ago to a baby girl and was planning on marrying her fiancé next year and going
back to school. Many are mourning the loss of the young mother.
Ultimately, investigators are still trying to determine what
caused the emergency door of the party bus to open. Investigators are also
searching for the two other drivers that hit the woman and continued to drive
without stopping.

the 26 year-old young mother. One significant factor was the exit door opening
and causing the woman to fall out. Buses are intended to keep all passengers
safe; however, many party buses have been proven to be dangerous. The combination
of alcohol, overcrowding, and loud music can be difficult for any driver to
handle and, thus, cause an accident. In addition, vehicle malfunction of the
bus can an accident injuring many passengers and causing severe injuries for
those not wearing a seat belt.
