Bus boss blames Flixbus victims of A9: “If everyone were still alive”. “It's bad, but I have to say it: If people had buckled up, everyone would still be alive," says bus boss Pavel Steiner.

It is unknown whether everyone who died in the accident was actually not wearing a seatbelt. Seat belts are compulsory in the coach and mandatory in coaches. According to statistics, buses are the safest means of transport on German roads.
