A troubled Houston bus company at the center of two accidents within two days this week has had faulty buses placed out of service 41 times since 2006 for issues such as bad tires and brake problems, records show.
Even so, according to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, Transportes Los Norteños remains in compliance with national transportation statutes. Federal regulators said Thursday, however, that they will review the East End carrier after a harrowing accident in Dallas late Wednesday, the second involving the company in as many days.
No one was killed as the driver of a Transportes bus made a mad dash for the nearest Interstate 35 exit near the Dallas Zoo after his brakes appeared to fail, said Kimberlee Leach, spokeswoman for the Dallas County Sheriff’s Office.
