Bus driver in I-95 quintuple fatal exits hospital, goes to jail
Jing Sheng Dong, hospitalized since the bus he drove crashed on I-95 in Virginia on May 29, has exited the hospital and is being held at the Rappahannock Regional Jail.
Dong faces five counts of involuntary manslaughter and one of reckless driving in the quintuple fatal crash. The bus was operated by E&P Travel, headquartered in Kings Mountain, N.C., and carried riders from New York to North Carolina.
A family of four traveling from Massachusetts to South Carolina for a wedding were killed; a woman from Massachusetts, in the first vehicle hit by the motor coach, also lost her life. Forty-four others were injured.
The Stafford County crash involved at least eight vehicles stopped or moving slowly in a work zone. Investigators and federal officials say there was little to no evidence of braking by Dong.
Most signage in America, including electronic emergency messaging, is in English. Congressional action includes at least a half-dozen proposals related to CDL licensures. The Transportation Department in February instituted a rule requiring CDL tests to be English only.
Dong does not speak English, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said after the crash. He also said the CDL was issued by New York in 2024.
Dong immigrated from China to America and became a citizen.
