Every motor carrier of passengers shall report to the
Commission, by the speediest means possible, whether telephone,
telegraph, or otherwise, every crash involving its
equipment which resulted in loss of life to any person. In
addition to reports required to be filed with the Department of
Transportation, under Article IV of Chapter 11 and Chapter 7 of this
Code, such carrier shall file a written report with the
Commission, in accordance with regulations adopted hereunder,
of any crash which results in injury or loss of life to
any employee, or damage to the person or property of any
member of the public. The Commission and the Department of
Transportation may adopt, by
reference, such state or federal reporting requirements as
will effectuate the purposes of this Section and promote
uniformity in bus crash reporting.
(2) Investigations.
The Commission and the Department of Transportation may investigate any
bus crash reported to
it or of which it acquires knowledge independent of reports
made by motor carriers of passengers, and shall have the
power to enter such orders and adopt such regulations as will
minimize the risk of future crashes.
