Driver May Be At Fault in NY Bus-Van Collision
In New York state, the Queens district attorney has dropped charges against the driver of a private van carrying a group of young children to school that crashed into a city bus in Queens last week, injuring seven children, one of whom was critically injured.
The driver of the van, Gene Boyd, 60, faced charges of reckless endangerment and endangering the welfare of a child in the accident. "The charges have been dropped at this time," said Capt. Kevin Ryan, a spokesman for the Queens district attorney's office. "There was not enough evidence to sustain criminal charges."
The police said that Mr. Boyd did not have a license to transport children to school. While the district attorney dropped the more serious charges against Mr. Boyd, he still might face lesser charges, the police said.
Mr. Boyd, who neighbors said was a very careful driver, turned the van into the path of an oncoming Q46 bus at 184th Street and Union Turnpike in Fresh Meadows around 8 a.m. the day of the collision.
The most severely injured child, Rebecca Frazier, 9, had head injuries and had been listed in critical but stable condition at Long Island Jewish Medical Center. A hospital spokeswoman said on Monday that the girl's family had asked that they not share information on her current condition.
