(SB-09-18) NTSB Cites Driver Error In Motorcoach Run-Off-The-Road And Rollover Accident In Mexican Hat, Utah That Killed Nine, Injured 43

WASHINGTON, D.C. - The National Transportation Safety Board today determined that the probable cause of the motorcoach accident in Mexican Hat, Utah, on January 6, 2008, was the driver's diminished alertness due to inadequate sleep resulting from a combination of factors. The Board found that the driver's state of fatigue affected his awareness of his vehicle's excessive speed and lane position on a downhill mountain grade of a rural secondary road. Contributing to the accident's severity was the lack of an adequate motorcoach occupant protection system, primarily due to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's delay in developing and promulgating standards to enhance the protection of motorcoach passengers.
