Bus Driver’s Fatal Distraction

from Buffalo News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

A deadly tour bus rollover on the New York State Thruway ended in five deaths and four injuries after the driver, Bin Shao, lost control for three seconds while reaching for a water bottle. Investigators reveal Shao, who’d been driving for ten years, repeatedly looked away from the road and even told a passenger not to wear a seatbelt. Passenger testimony confirms he was texting and operating the bus with one hand while grabbing the bottle. Shao now faces ten felony charges, and the NTSB’s detailed timeline and ongoing probe aim to overhaul safety protocols before another tragedy strikes.
