A Staten Island bus driver, Jing S. Dong, 48, has been charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter after a Virginia I-95 crash in Stafford County killed five people and injured about 44; investigators say the bus failed to slow in a work zone, crashing into six vehicles, including an Acura that carried four members of a Greenfield, Massachusetts family who died, and a Suburban where another person died. Thirty-four passengers were aboard; the bus was operated by E&P Travel on a New York to North Carolina route. The NTSB is investigating and a preliminary report is due in about 30 days, with investigators reviewing the driver’s activities prior to the crash.
