NTSB Calls For New Limo Safety Standards After Deadly Crash

The transcript discusses the National Transportation Safety Board's (NTSB) recommendations for improving limousine safety following a deadly crash in Schoharie, New York. The NTSB suggests that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) mandate lap and shoulder seatbelts in all new limousines and establish performance standards for seating systems. The Schoharie crash, which resulted in 20 fatalities, is highlighted as the deadliest U.S. transportation accident in nearly a decade. The NTSB report indicates that proper seatbelt use and design could have mitigated injuries. The NHTSA acknowledges the NTSB's initial analysis and anticipates reviewing the complete investigation data.
