Notable incidents and collisions (Just some of them)

October 3, 2001: in the 2001 Greyhound bus attack, at approximately 4:15 a.m. local time, a passenger, Damir Igric, assaulted the driver of his bus, attempting to slit his throat, and causing the bus to crash near Manchester, Tennessee, killing Igric himself and five other passengers and injuring 32 others. Since the incident occurred three weeks after the September 11 terrorist attacks, Greyhound temporarily suspended all schedules as soon as the company learned of the incident for fear that it may have been part of a larger coordinated attack. After investigation by the company and the FBI, it was confirmed that Igric had acted alone and service resumed later that afternoon.After the incident, Greyhound bus stations increased security, though not nearly to the same level as airports or train stations

September 30, 2002: Arturo Martinez Tapia assaulted a Greyhound driver near Fresno, California, resulting in two passenger deaths after the bus rolled off an embankment and crashed. Following this attack, an aisle gate and driver's shield were installed on most Greyhound buses to prevent passengers from having direct contact with the driver when the bus is in motion, even if the aisle gate is forced open. The project was funded by a $16 million grant from the Transportation Security Administration.

January 23, 2014: Maquel Donyel Morris, who was reportedly hallucinating, screamed "everybody's going to die," attacked the driver, and grabbed the steering wheel of a bus traveling on Interstate 10 near Tonopah, Arizona, 50 miles (80 km) west of Phoenix. 24 passengers were injured, including 21 who were airlifted to nearby hospitals. Police credited the driver for keeping the bus upright and preventing it from crossing into oncoming traffic.

February 3, 2020: one person was killed and five others were injured when a passenger opened fire on a bus heading from Los Angeles to San Francisco. At the time of the shooting, the bus was travelling northbound on Interstate 5 near Grapevine, California. After the shooting, the driver pulled to the side of the highway and convinced the shooter to get off the bus. The driver then continued down the highway to a gas station to get medical assistance for the injured passengers. The suspect, still on the side of the highway, was later arrested without incident

July 12, 2023: shortly before 2 a.m., a westbound Greyhound bus, traveling from Indianapolis to St. Louis, struck three semi tractor trailers parked along the I-70 Silver Lake rest area exit ramp near Highland, Illinois.[172] Three people were killed and 14 were seriously injured; four injured passengers were taken by helicopter to hospitals, the rest by ambulance.[173] Although Illinois law prohibits trucks from parking along exit ramps, industry observers say there has been a nationwide shortage of overnight parking places.[174][175] The National Transportation Safety Board expects the investigation to take between one and two years.
