This is NOT a big problem at all. Disney transport operates daily and does so safely. Accidents will and do happen. Disney transport for the most part operates safely on a daily basis.
But there IS a big problem here. The underlying problem of drivers (of any vehicles) continuing to be distracted by....something. It used to just be dogs running across the street or people at crosswalks.
Now, it's cell phones and iPods and texting and GPS devices. The electronic revolution has given drivers more to do OTHER than driving. THIS, is a big problem.
While this specific accident may, by very small chance, have been a freak coincidence, it's more likely the first piece of evidence that Disney (and perhaps law - as much as I hate to suggest the government get involved any more) needs to crack down on "distracted driving".
I don't see this accident as just "a freak accident" - I see it as "just the beginning".
