Which character died after a bus accident in House M.D.?

The story behind the answer

Amber Volakis died after a bus accident in House M.D.

Amber, played by Anne Dudek, was one of the doctors competing for a place on House’s diagnostic team during the fourth season. Her forceful personality earned her the nickname “Cutthroat Bitch,” reflecting the intense competition among the applicants.

At the end of the season, Amber was riding on a bus with House after he had been drinking. The crash caused severe injuries, and doctors later discovered that her use of amantadine prevented her body from properly processing the drug. She ultimately died from complications of the accident.

The storyline spans the two-part season-four finale, “House’s Head” and “Wilson’s Heart.” It is sometimes remembered simply as House’s hallucination arc, but the character’s death and its impact on Wilson are central to the conclusion.
