I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT ON 7/6/2010 WHILE DRIVING FOR JEFFERSON PARTNERS AT APPROXIMATELY 5:25P.M. IN CONWAY, ARKANSAS. I HAD STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND STARTED TO PULL OFF, WHEN I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE AND IT FAILED. I CONTINUED TO STEP ON THE BRAKE, BUT THE BUS WOULD NOT STOP, I COULD NOT AVOID THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME BECAUSE IT WAS DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND THE CENTER LANE WAS FULL OF TRAFFIC ALSO. I CONTINUED TO PRESS ON BRAKE, BUT BUS WOULD NOT STOP. I WAS ON A TRAINING SESSION WITH A SENIOR DRIVER, WHO WITNESSED THE FAILURE, ALONG WITH HAVING 9 PASSENGERS ON THE BUS, NO ONE WAS INJURED. THE COMPANY AFTER THEIR INVESTIGATION TERMINATED ME STATING THAT THIS WAS A PREVENTABLE ACCIDENT, SINCE THERE WERE NO CAMERAS ON THE BUS INVOLVED, AND THE DETERMINATION WAS MADE BY THE SAFETY DIRECTOR IN MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA. THE BUS WAS DRIVEN BACK TO KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI WITH NO INSPECTION FOLLOWING THE ACCIDENT. THERE WERE TWO PRIOR REPORTS WRITTEN UP ON SAME BUS STATING THAT THE BRAKES HAD FAILED PREVIOUSLY, I DIDN'T SEE THESE REPORTS BEFORE I WAS SENT OUT ON THIS BUS, HOWEVER I DID NOTE THE PREVIOUS DATES AT THE BOTTOM OF MY REPORT UPON RETURNING TO KANSAS CITY. IT IS INCIDENTS LIKE THIS WHICH SHOW POOR MAINTENANCE OF THESE VEHICLES. THE BUS NUMBER IN QUESTION IS #1793. *TR
