Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, citing police, said on social media that [the truck driver] Dong, a native of China, does not speak English.
NTSB board member Tom Chapman revealed few new details but said the bus was moving at a high rate of speed. “It seems fairly clear that if there was any braking there wasn’t much, because of the speed and severity of the collision,” Chapman said.
[The Tragic Result] A family of four from Massachusetts who were killed when a bus crashed into multiple vehicles in Virginia were traveling to a wedding with a carload of homemade desserts for the celebration.
The family wedding will go forward Sunday in South Carolina, but it also will be a time to mourn the loss of Dmitri and Ecaterina Doncev and their two children, Emily and Mark, a relative said Saturday.
“A son, a father — the whole family — everyone that has been dear to us,” Carolina Bublik said.

Drunk driving illegals cause a multitude of innocent deaths as well. Just get'em outta here!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Leo AI: According to federal authorities and news reports covering the last 18 months, fatal crashes involving illegally licensed truck drivers have resulted in at least 38 confirmed fatalities.
The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) reported that in 2025 alone, at least 30 people died in 17 specific crashes caused by non-domiciled drivers (a category including illegal aliens). Additionally, ICE and DHS officials stated that a specific series of high-profile fatal accidents in California, Florida, and Oregon during 2025 collectively claimed eight innocent lives, which directly prompted Operation Highway Sentinel.
Notable Fatal Incidents Several specific crashes contributed to these totals:
Florida (August 2025): An illegal U-turn by a semi-truck in St. Lucie County killed three people.
California (October 2025): A crash involving a driver released by the Biden administration killed three people, including a high school basketball coach and his wife.
California (May 2026): A multi-vehicle pileup near Lodi caused by a driver who fled the scene resulted in two deaths.
Oregon (November 2025): A collision involving a California-licensed driver killed two honeymooners.
Pennsylvania (February 2026): A head-on collision with a van killed four people.
Tennessee (December 2025): A crash involving a Chinese national who failed English proficiency tests killed one American.
The U.S. Department of Transportation announced the revocation of 17,000 commercial driver’s licenses in California alone after an audit found they were illegally issued to foreign nationals without legal status.
I’d say something about his name but it’s too easy. Not sporting.
Meanwhile, the Indiana TV news is complaining that alien truck drivers are losing their jobs because of “stricter rules”.

Similar to the JFK Jr. plane crash, you have to wonder what was done about the wedding, and what an horrific memory that usually joyous event delivered.
Getting drivers like this off the road is important, but at first glance this doesn’t look like an incident that had anything to do with English proficiency. Based on the type of crash and the time of day, this looks like a textbook case of driver fatigue.
Just HORRIBLE..any comment from Ayanna Presley or Elizabeth Warren, after all these were her constituents, nah of course not..they could care less about their own citizens being murdered by an illegal alien scumbag who should have NEVER been here in the first place and should as hell NEVER been allowed to drive a bus when he could not speak ONE DAMN WORD OF ENGLISH..he got that CDL in New York so yet again, Hochel has blood on her hands, but she doesnt care, illegals vote Dem and that is what matters most
I’ve seen no reports that the driver was an illegal alien. I believe he was either a naturalized citizen or a green card holder.
or NHL star Johnny Gaudreau and his brother- whose situation was even more horrific a day or two before their sisters wedding...
Feds are requiring standards for commercial driver’s licenses, including being able to read our signs and knowing the rules of the road. States issue the licenses, and I’d be surprised if, at least one paper, they didn’t have similar standards. Said drivers are often on federal interstate highways. Feds have finally noticed a significant number of drivers flagrantly fail the standards and have officially asks states to review their licensees. Many states complied, found their licenses and took appropriate action. Great, although voters may ask why those states and the prior Feds hadn’t already done their job. But a few states have chosen to defy the Feds, not review their drivers and thus violate federal law. Why aren’t the state decision makers up on federal charges? Why aren’t they being, personally hit with federal wrongful death suit when they refuse to follow the law, directly leading to the deaths? Why, at the least, are those states still getting federal highway funds?
Take his organs out while he’s alive and toss his carcass out of a plane over China.
Ayanna Presley represents Boston
Jim McGovern represents Greenfield and Worcester, the home cities of all 5 fatalities in the 2 cars.
Roads Scholar?
How they appear to illegaly licensed, Non-English-speaking truck drivers, many of whom are also illegal aliens ....
My Mom and her family came here from Israel back over 50 yrs ago as naturalized citizens, they had to learn English in order to become citizens had to pass the written test, now the second you come here you get a CDL without having to understand anything and now this beautiful family is gone who themselves are immigrants
That may be the TV news, but folks like me are grateful they are cracking down. Make our highways and roads safe again! MOHARSA!
I was just on the phone with Amazon because our order was delivered to the wrong address. Why? It came by Prime and the driver and wife didn’t speak English. Prime is using third party contractors that are hiring non English speaking folk. The driver was from Cuba so not an illegal but not speaking English...how can you read road signs?
“Meanwhile, the Indiana TV news is complaining that alien truck drivers are losing their jobs because of “stricter rules”.”
Finally some good news.
“I’ve seen no reports that the driver was an illegal alien. I believe he was either a naturalized citizen or a green card holder.”
“I believe...”
Based on this piece, there is not a hint of what you believe to be the case. You may be one of the many people on this site that pull stuff from their ass and believe it.
“NTSB board member Tom Chapman revealed few new details but said the bus was moving at a high rate of speed.It seems fairly clear that if there was any braking there wasn’t much, because of the speed and severity of the collision,”
That would suggest that something was amiss with this driver.
