I understand that ため means "in order to" or "goal".

I don't understand how it works in this sentence though. Could someone please
explain.

> バスの事故が続いている **ため** 出発前に警察などが調べ

This is how I interpret it:

> The bus accident | in order to continue being | before the departure |
> Police etc investigate

question
grammar
What is the meaning of 「ため」 in the following sentence?
「ため」 has **_many_** meanings. In this context, it means "because (of)", "owing
to", etc.

> "Because bus accidents continue to take place, the police and ~~~~ before
> departures."

**_Because_** you cut off the sentence in the middle, I could not translate it
fully.

「文が途中で切れている **ため** 、完全には訳せません。」
