75-Year-Old Bus Driver Faces Homicide Charges | Birmingham News

A 75-year-old Alabama school bus driver is facing deadly charges after a November 2025 crash that killed local business owner Jennifer Leigh Cooper—despite her family claiming she suffered a sudden, life-threatening diabetic emergency while driving. Accusations now include possible prior health issues and undisclosed medication use, with a lawsuit alleging she was told to continue her route despite feeling ill. McCloud turned herself in in September 2026 and is rallying public support through a GoFundMe to fight the charges, as no students were injured in the crash.
