Dallas County, TX — November 23, 2025, six people were injured in a bus accident shortly before 10:00 p.m. along Ferguson Road.

According to authorities, a man was traveling in a northbound Toyota Camry on Ferguson Road at the Hasty Street intersection when the accident took place.

Officials indicate that, for reasons yet to be confirmed, a collision occurred between the front-end of the Camry and the rear-end of a bus.

The man from the Camry reportedly sustained serious injuries over the course of the accident. The bus driver and five people who had been passengers on the bus may have been injured, as well, according to reports.

Additional details pertaining to this incident—including the identities of the victims—are not available at this point in time. The investigation is currently ongoing.

When a car rear-ends a bus, many assume the driver of the smaller vehicle must be at fault. But that kind of assumption can short-circuit a proper investigation—especially when multiple people are injured and the bus is part of a public or commercial transportation system.

The key question here is: Why was the bus stopped or moving slowly enough to be hit from behind? That’s not just about traffic flow—it’s about whether the bus driver signaled properly, stopped abruptly, or was in a place they weren’t supposed to be. If the bus was stopped unexpectedly or partially blocking the roadway without warning, that could shift fault—or at least responsibility—away from the Camry driver.

Investigators should be focusing on:

• Traffic camera footage or onboard surveillance to determine whether the bus made an abrupt or improper stop.
• Brake light and signal functionality on the bus, to rule out equipment failure as a contributing factor.
• Speed and following distance of the Camry leading up to the crash, based on crash scene evidence and potential dash cam or vehicle data recorder information.
• Lighting and visibility conditions, especially since this occurred at night.

In past cases I’ve handled involving buses and other large vehicles, a common problem is inconsistent stopping behavior. If a driver stops too suddenly, doesn’t use proper signals, or stops somewhere outside of a designated bus zone, it can create a hazard for approaching traffic—even when the following driver is paying attention.

Of course, if the Camry was speeding, distracted, or tailgating, that changes the equation. But the fact that the crash hurt six people—at least one seriously—shows this wasn’t a minor bump. Something happened here that caused real harm, and determining exactly what that was will require more than just assumptions about rear-end collisions.

Key Takeaways:

• A rear-end crash doesn’t automatically mean the following driver is at fault—especially with a bus involved.
• Investigators will need to review video footage, signal function, and stop behavior to assess the bus driver's role.
• Lighting conditions, speed, and spacing are all critical to understanding how the crash occurred.
• Injuries to both the driver and bus passengers suggest a significant impact, not a minor traffic mishap.
• Determining fault depends on whether both drivers were operating safely and predictably within the flow of traffic.
