METRO is placing all necessary resources at the disposal of safety and police personnel who are investigating a fatal accident that occurred on State Highway 288 at MacGregor.  Based on preliminary information bus operator David Sayers appears to have lost control of the vehicle after it struck a dump-truck that was also headed south on the same stretch of road.  He was returning the bus to the Hiram Clarke Bus Operations Facility at the end of his shift around 8:30 a.m. when the accident occurred. There were no customers on board and no reports of other injuries.

METRO president and CEO George Greanias reached out to employees saying, “This is a tragic day.   Our first thoughts are with David’s family and co-workers. We will do all we can to support them through this difficult time. We are deeply committed to a safe transit system for customers, operators and our community.”    

Note: The Insite spoke with Minister Robert Muhammad and Deric Muhammad.  Both of them were very close to the driver of the bus who was killed.  David Sayers was known to the members of the Nation of Islam because he was also a member.  He attended Robert Muhammad's mosque in Houston.  He went by the name David XX in the organization.  Deric and Robert send their condolences to David's family! 

BTW: The photo of the tragic bus crash was taken by Minister Robert Muhammad.  When he was taking the photo minutes after the accident happened on 288 Thursday morning he had no clue the bus driver was a man he knew and who attended his mosque.  We now know that man was David XX!
