From WESH: LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- A Disney bus driver was charged on Tuesday following a crash that sent him and seven passengers to area hospitals last week. Jean Valentin was cited by the Florida Highway Patrol for careless driving in the March 23 crash. Investigators also said the...

I wonder how fast the Disney bus was going? (just curious...)

How awful :( Did everyone see this part... Investigators say the Disney bus driver never braked.

Thanks Raven ~ appreciate the tip :) Have a nice evening ~

When we go, we always have a car with us, so we don't ride the bus very often. I do remember though, a few months ago, buses passing us at a fast clip. It was remarkable enough that I asked my husband if the speed limits were changed because of how fast they were moving. Also, I think buses...

Your point? What's that got to do with anything?

Ok then, my bad. All is forgiven :kiss: No, I don't automatically think it was a cell phone (just for the record). My fear is that if it was something like that, then it would make me feel even sadder. Excuse me? I've been here 2 years longer than you have :ROFLOL:

What are you, thread monitor? Telling people how they should think? No one ever said he definitely was texting/using a cellphone. But, as humans are apt to do, we can *speculate* as to what we think might have been going on. He could also have had a stroke. Any number of things could've taken place.

I agree with this. I am very sorry he was so badly injured (I heard it took them over 15 minutes to free him from the wreckage), but you can liken the parked bus to a tree, or road sign... it wasn't moving. But I am not going to place the blame entirely on the driver. No one has said why the...

And rightly so. Thanks for sharing that Rob. Oh no, that's so sad :( Thanks bliss for the update.

Thanks Rob. I wonder if he put up some sort of hazard signs? Also, I wonder why he didn't pull off the main road and onto the grass? I have no idea.. is there a drop-off there maybe which prevented him from doing so? I truly hope he wasn't texting or doing something else that caused him to...

Thanks for sharing this raven. I remember talking to a bus driver when he was driving us to Downtown Disney. We got on the topic of job security and he said bus drivers could pretty much do as they pleased (he was referring to how much conversation he could carry on with passengers) because they...

I wonder why it was just sitting there... empty? :shrug:

Seriously? I would. But I'll be forthright in saying that it is not this incident alone that has me losing my flavor for Disney. Bad service, less than acceptable treatment by hotel staff.. our list is growing. 500+ trips gives us a solid foundation on which to base our new Disney-tude.
