Massive head injuries?

Perhaps they need to hire EMS people who have bus drivers licences.

This guy was damned if he did / damned if he didn't.

"Metro policy calls for bus drivers to summon help immediately after an accident and to assist the injured "as possible," said Metro spokesman Ken Connaughton."

It would seen he did that.

As far as his driving? I imagine he will be walking [& looking over his shoulder for busses] for a while.

I'm with you.

"Members of Kao's family said they were frustrated that state law may limit Metro's liability for Kao's death to $100,000. Tuan Tran, Kao's brother-in-law, said a larger damage award "would probably force a company to change its policy."

Nothing stated here indicates that the policy is weak or faulty. It is the driver, who might possibly have been in a state of shock, that failed in this emergency situation.
