WATCH: Crash Raises Questions About Need for Seat Belts on Public Buses

New chilling video, which caught a crash involving a transit authority bus and a car in Spokane, Washington, in which passengers were sent flying, is raising questions about whether seat belts should be used in public transportation.

Multiple cameras on the bus captured the moment, this weekend, when a Subaru vehicle blew through a red light as the bus crossed the intersection.

"We were coming down and this green car pulled in front of the bus and we T-boned it," bus passenger Theresa Taylor told ABC News affiliate KXLY-TV.

One passenger identified as Sandy was thrown from her wheelchair.

"Sandy fell down and she went to the hospital already," passenger Kathy Miller told the station. "She's got stomach problems. … And she had a bruise under her arm."

Authorities said the driver of the car remained at the scene and was ticketed.

While the National Transportation Safety Board has recommended seat belts for long-haul tour buses, there are no requirements for seat belts on school buses or city transit buses.

A person is 28 times safer on a city bus than in a car, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation. The American Public Transportation Association maintains that it would cost billions of dollars to meet any mandatory seat belt requirements.

Standing passengers would be banned and cities would have to buy more buses and hire more drivers to handle the additional passengers, the association added.

No one was seriously hurt in the accident, KXLY reported.
