The report describes a schoolbus freight train collision at a railroad highway grade crossing. As a result of the accident five students died, and the busdriver and all 44 remaining students were injured. None of the train crew was injured. The National Transportation Safety Board determines that the cause of the accident was the failure of the schoolbus driver to stop at the stop sign until the crossing was clear of railroad traffic. Contributing to the accident was the unnecessary routing of the schoolbus over a not specially protected railroad/highway grade crossing.
