Zhang Wenjie-Minibus crash: 10 hurt; all had no belts

Summary:10 Chinese nationals were injured yesterday morning when a minibus slammed into the back of the truck. They were taken to a hospital and 8 were treated by minor injuries. The impact of the crash has sent a man hurtling forward. The crash renewed calls for sear belts to be fitted in all minibuses. The appeals begin in April when a schoolboy, eight, was killed after flung out of a minibus which has collided between two cars. At very least, lap belts must be installed.

Personal View:I feel that putting on seat belts is very important because in an accident the seat belt might be able to save a person. The transport ministry acted last month that all new school buses must install seat belts. I think that this is the right thing to do as it ensures the safety of each child that takes the school bus. They should have done that long ago so that it can save the lives of the innocent students.
