Virginia bus crash: driver charged as investigators probe speed and fatigue

A motor coach driver, Jing S Dong, 48, was charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter after a Stafford County, Virginia crash killed five and injured more than 40. The NTSB is probing factors including speed, fatigue, and the driver’s language barrier, noting Dong is a non-English speaker from China. The bus struck a vehicle in a work zone on I-95, impacting the Doncev family from Massachusetts and others; Dong is in custody with his first court appearance postponed until after hospital discharge, and a GoFundMe for funeral expenses has surpassed its original $50,000 goal.

"Tragedy on I-695: Shedding Light on the Invisibility of Construction Workers"

The construction industry is one of the most dangerous in the United States, with 1,034 fatal occupational injuries among all construction workers and 74,520 nonfatal injuries among private wage-and-salary construction workers in 2020. Work-zone crashes have been occurring more frequently, increasing by 18 percent between 2011 and 2020. Workers aren’t only losing their lives in “struck by” incidents, which can involve getting struck by vehicles, falling objects or construction equipment. They are also dying at disproportionate rates by suicide and drug overdoses. The National Stand-Down to Prevent Struck-by Incidents is being held in conjunction with the National Work Zone Awareness Week to raise awareness of the deadly risks construction workers face every day.
