New footage shows the moment a school bus careened off the road and smashed through a mobile home in rural South Carolina.
Video released on Tuesday by Greenville County Schools shows the moments leading up to the April 15 crash.
The bus veers into the grass on the right side of the road and overcorrects left, plowing into a yard and taking out a fence and a mailbox in the process.
The vehicle only comes to a stop after slamming through the wall of a mobile home.
An angle from inside the bus shows the driver topple from her seat after the bus crosses into the yard, losing control of the steering wheel.
Another angle shows the two students on board being violently jostled by the impact.
Luckily no injuries were reported, and no one was inside the home at the time of the crash.
A representative from the district confirmed that the driver is no longer employed with Greenville County Schools.
According to the South Carolina Highway Patrol, the driver was travelling west on Stamey Valley Road, near the tiny city of Travelers Rest, when she was navigating a curve and went off the road. She was ticketed for speeding.

bus driver, bus driver,
Hail to the bus driver,
bus driver-man
He screams and he cusses,
He rams other buses.
Hail to the bus driver,
bus driver-man.

They are gonna have little Johnny on video evidence from the bus cam #08.
So, that means the school district is on the hook for paying that family due to property damage. I’m pretty certain
the ex-driver doesn’t have pockets near deep enough to be directly sued. Maybe the manufacturer of Crazy Bus will share in liability, if it can be proven that there was a system malfunction of any kind.
Women Drivers?
Pronouns?
Most likely.
An old mobile home is a fairly forgiving barrier.
And he sideswiped nineteen neat parked cars,
Clipped off thirteen telephone poles,
Hit two houses, bruised eight trees,
And Blue-Crossed seven people.
It was then he lost his head,
Not to mention an arm or two before he stopped.
I would assume that either the school system carries insurance, or the bus driver does if they employ private owner operators like they do here in Louisiana. Making one or both insurance companies are the liable party, based upon limits, but a lawyer I’m not. I also have never worked in the insurance industry. Though I was a programmer at Geico for a while, before moving on to a more lucrative client to work for. 🤣
When I was in first grade, my school bus (in rural Virginia) was driven by a fifteen-year-old eighth grader.
The driver was cited for DWF.
Was she white?
