A charter bus driver has been charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter following a crash in Virginia that resulted in five fatalities. Jing S. Dong, a driver from Staten Island, New York, who obtained his commercial license in 2024, allegedly collided with an SUV on Interstate 95 around 2:35 a.m. on Friday. The crash caused the SUV to hit another vehicle, leading to a fire that killed a family of four from Greenfield, Massachusetts, including a teenage girl and a young boy. A 25-year-old woman in the SUV directly in front of the bus was also killed. According to the Virginia State Police, traffic was slowing for a work zone when Dong's bus failed to slow down. U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy stated that Dong, a naturalized citizen from China, does not speak English, which violates federal regulations for bus drivers. The Transportation Department is investigating the driver's licensing and training records.
