Megabus investigation leads to warning about tires

Posted: Updated:
CHICAGO (FOX 32 News) -

The investigation into the fatal downstate Megabus accident has led to a warning about tires.

The feds say that bus companies need to make sure tires are well inflated, especially when buses are heavily loaded, or days are hot. Heat and weight can both cause stress on tires.

One woman was killed and dozens others injured when a double-decker Megabus from Chicago blew a tire earlier this month.

About a week later, another Megabus blew a tire in Georgia, but no one was hurt in that case.
