I read in the news that this Dial a Ride bus entity ended up having to switch insurance policies due to "a high number of claims." While I would have to look further into the specifics, seeing a crash like this so soon after a controversy like that would naturally make people wonder if there are still unresolved issues with this particular service. It's a good example of why it's so important to investigate beyond a crash scene alone. There could be underlying issues that need to be called out, and it's possible something similar happened here.
