The head of the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has called the 43,000 annual deaths on America's roadways a "public health crisis" following a tragic school bus crash in Ohio that claimed the lives of three students, two parent chaperones, and a teacher. The crash involved multiple vehicles, including a charter bus carrying over 50 students.
