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. NTSB investigators are on the scene to determine the cause of the accident, and a preliminary report is expected in the coming weeks. Ohio Governor Mike DeWine has ordered flags to fly at half-staff in honor of the victims, and the community is receiving support from counselors and other organizations.
