According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, in 2007 there were 433 bus accidents in Missouri with 225 of those producing injuries. This compares with 12,498 total bus accidents nationally with 6,709 producing injuries. The most current information on bus accidents can be found at the Center for National Truck and Bus Statistics (CNTBS) with the University of Michigan.

Like other larger vehicles, buses can cause serious injury to the occupants in smaller vehicles. Given their increased ground clearance, particularly in relation to school buses, occupants in small vehicles which are closer to the ground can be catastrophically injured by becoming lodged underneath the bus.
