Case now confirmed that the cyclist was at fault during the accident.[/quote]

Sorry your power went out as you were unable to finish typing that the bus driver kept going after he hit her.  That’s why he’s being criminally charged.  The investigation will show what killed her.  [/quote]

He stopped first and then moved forward 27 feet, which isn't much. Surprised he is being cited since his moving forward after impact didn't cause the accident. I've never driven a bus but would you even feel the impact in a vehicle that large? Is criminally charged the right language? It's a citation with an appearance in court and a fine, isn't it?

I agree. Devastating what happened to Summer but the bus driver’s actions didn’t cause her death. My guess is he wasn’t sure what he hit as there are traffic softening devices in that area and loud children on the bus. I’m sure he was pulling forward out of the intersection to do an inspection.[/quote]

This, Mcps needs more safety measures on buses.  [/quote]

How about a camera or sensor so the drive to the bus can see what's directly in front of it? [/quote]
