Boston School Bus Contractor Sued Over Crash Injuring Child, Linked Fatal Incident

News summary

Transdev North America, the bus contractor for Boston Public Schools, is facing a civil lawsuit after a school bus crash in Jamaica Plain seriously injured an 8-year-old student with autism. Dashcam footage revealed that the bus driver and a safety monitor were allegedly napping moments before the driver abruptly started the bus and veered onto a sidewalk, striking the child and a school aide. The driver gave multiple conflicting explanations to police, including mechanical issues and being cut off by another vehicle, but investigations showed no mechanical faults and no other vehicles involved. The lawsuit accuses Transdev and its employees of gross negligence, inadequate supervision, and systemic safety failures, highlighting the company's troubling history of incidents involving children. The child's guardian condemned the bus company's actions, demanding accountability to prevent future tragedies. Boston officials, including the City Council Education Committee, are seeking testimony from Transdev amid growing concerns over school bus safety.
