Truck driver fined for Kearney bus collision
A truck driver from New York City has been fined $100 for colliding with a school bus from Kearney near Greenwood in eastern Nebraska.
56-year-old Jun Meng, who lives in the borough of Queens, also was ordered to pay $48 in court costs. He'd pleaded guilty last month to careless driving. Authorities say 28 Kearney High School students and four staffers were on a field trip to Omaha on November 8th. The Nebraska State Patrol says Meng's truck and the school bus were headed east on Interstate 80 near the Greenwood exit when the truck changed lanes. It stuck the bus, knocking it atop a concrete construction barrier. Six students and a teacher were taken to a hospital. The bus driver and Meng were not injured. |
