Accident Report
Green Bay, WI — March 22, 2026, 41 people were injured in a bus accident at about 2:45 p.m. on South Webster Avenue.
Authorities said a charter bus carrying more than 50 passengers to a Michigan casino went over an embankment after exiting Interstate 43 at Webster.
Forty-one people from the bus were hospitalized after the crash, according to authorities. Two of those suffered critical injuries, but most were considered non-life-threatening.
The bus driver has been ordered to stand trial on charges including operating a vehicle with a revoked license and causing great bodily harm, authorities said. He told investigators that the bus’s brakes were not working after exiting the interstate to refuel.
Authorities have not released any additional information about the Brown County crash at this time.
How Did This Accident Occur?
Why did this bus go over an embankment? Did the driver miss a turn, or was there some sort of mechanical issue with the bus that caused the crash?
I’ve seen these scenarios contributed to crashes during my career investigating commercial vehicle accidents, but at this point we don’t know what caused this crash near Interstate 43 in Green Bay. That is why a full investigation is needed.
The investigation, by police or an independent third-party, will rely on witness statements, evidence from the scene, data from the bus’ engine control module and any available video footage, possibly from the bus itself. That should provide the answers needed to explain this crash.
