Fatal Virginia Accident|Bus Involved|Sky Express|Accidents

As reported in The New York Times; The Federal Transportation Department said it is tightening it's policies after acknowledging that the bus company involved in a fatal Virginia accident had been allowed to continue operating while it appealed a suspension for safety violations. A compliance review of the company, Sky Express, conducted by the department in April found numerous shortcomings in a varity of areas, including driver training and vehicle maintenance, according to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, which oversees bus safety.  The carrier was given an unsatisfactory rating and banned from making interstate trips. Sky Express appealed the ruling and was eventually given an extension of 10 days. Had the department not given the company the extra 10 days to appeal, it's operating license would have been revoked three days before the deadly accident.
