The school bus was transporting 31 high school students and 7 teachers from Jonesboro, Arkansas, to the Annual State Skills Olympics for vocational-technical students in Little Rock, Arkansas.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines that the probable cause of this accident was the driver's failure to slow the school bus to a proper speed for negotiating a curve that led to a T-intersection with a stop sign and that had advance "curve" and "stop ahead" warning signs and an advisory speed sign.
Contributing to the accident were the deficiencies of the intersection and signing system, and the lack of reporting of a large number of low severity accidents and incidents at the curve that would have effectively alerted the Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department of deficiencies in the intersection design and signing system.
