New video has been released of a December 2023 bus crash at Charlotte-Douglas International Airport.

Queen City News obtained the video through a public records request, wanting to learn more about what led up to the crash and the moments after. The crash, which happened on December 8, 2023, injured one person and involved two Charlotte-Douglas airport buses.

The video showed perspectives from both buses and from a variety of cameras in each bus. One bus appeared to be carrying passengers. The other bus appeared to be an employee shuttle.

In the video from the passenger bus, the driver appears to start moving as the employee shuttle appears to pass, leading to what appears to be a scraping up against the passenger bus’s driver’s side. Moments later, the driver of the passenger bus appears to be trying to gain control of the vehicle, before hitting a railing and a column.

Violent lurching could be seen among the people in the passenger bus, with one appearing to suffer a facial injury. Screaming could also be heard from passengers.

In the video of the same incident from the employee shuttle, you can see the shuttle pass, but get briefly hit. Moments later, there appears to be a second hit, which rocks the passengers of the employee shuttle from their seats.

One person had to be taken to the hospital as a result of the crash.
