Driver from my center. Haven't found out who yet but I hope you loose everything. Retirement, pension and all. You bring shame to what we do and 3 kids almost lost their lives due to your carelessness.
The bus driver? Yes. They are responsible for the kids. Dude shoulda seen our boy coming and stopped the kids.Like this dude literally did everything wrong.
Too much trust, like railroad crossings, you’re trusting you’re life to an electric deviceIdk dude. Says the driver rolled a stop sign before coming down that street, will find out for real, im sure.
That schoolbus had no lights on, was the stopsign out?
Here, they dont put on the red lights and stop sign if theyre dropping off kids to the passenger side of the bus. Only if kids are gonna cross the street.
Maybe that bus driver should be fired?
Also, and most importantly. TEACH YOUR KIDS TO LOOK ALL WAYS BEFORE CROSSING THE STREET!!!!!!
Rediculous.
Id say 98% of kids i see crossing the street after getting off a school bus, stare directly down at the ground. Never even raise their head, at all. Like there is some secret force field thats gonna stop a ed up driver.
The bus driver? Yes. They are responsible for the kids. Dude shoulda seen our boy coming and stopped the kids.
Also shoulda had the lights on and stopsign out.
Then it’s on the UPS driverLights were on and stop sign was out according to the mother who was paying attention.
The UPS Driver who wasn't paying attention claims he didn't see him.

I thought buses had cameras on the side to capture incidents just like this?
You’re absolutely right. After 30 years I’m not in a hurry, but new guys…..That's why UPS drivers are trained to clear every single intersection. Regardless if the have the green light or the right away.
Looks like he did ok. Didnt hit the kid. Alls well that ends well.And if it wasnt the UPS driver was still in the wrong for not clearing the intersection before preceding.
Sheeeeet. Plot twist."13News reached out to the McCordsville Police Department about the incident. Major Jim Bell responded, saying the officer spoke with the driver of the vehicle. According to police, the UPS driver told the officer that he did not see the stop arm extended when he went to pass. The driver also stated that when he observed the stop arm out, while passing the bus, he did stop the truck."
So the driver didn't see and then did see the stop arm all within 2 to 3 seconds. Cool story, bro.
Ok...
Everyone settle on down...
We have to look at the root of this.
Bus was sitting for a bit...
Could take that as it's just sitting.
I saw no lights... From the edited video.
Why would the bus driver curb the bus if making a stop to let a kid off...
Why not angle to ensure vehicles couldn't go around and give clear signs of letting kids out...
But...
Most importantly...
Why wasn't the parent visible enough that everyone knew they were taking a child off the bus?
Nobody wants to blame the lazy ass parent?
If another video...
Preferably the one inside the bus...
Can show that the lights and arm were activated, then all bets are off.
The driver also stated that when he observed the stop arm out, while passing the bus, he did stop the truck."
If the stop arm was not working that’s a failure of the bus driver for not doing a proper Pre Trip. Stop arm and flashing lights on all sides are DOT required.He wasnt speeding around the bus, he said the arm wasn’t out and thought the bus was having mechanical issues, it’s a no win situation here.
