A commercial bus driver, who federal officials say could not speak English, faces two counts of involuntary manslaughter, with additional charges likely, after his charter bus plowed into vehicles on a Virginia highway Friday morning, killing five people, including an entire Greenfield, Massachusetts, family of four.
The New York Post reports that Virginia State Police revealed the 48-year-old bus driver, Jing S. Dong, was charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter and will likely face additional charges after killing five people, including an entire family of four from Massachusetts: Dmitri Doncev, 45; his wife, Ecterina, 44; their 13-year-old daughter, Emily; and their 7-year-old son, Mark.
US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy confirmed on X that Dong, “a man from China who became a U.S. citizen — doesn’t speak English. He received his commercial driver’s license from New York State in 2024.”
“Unacceptable. This is exactly why we are holding states accountable, enforcing the rules of the road, and cracking down on drivers who can’t speak English,” Duffy said.
The state, DMV, the person who issued his license and whoever hired him to drive the bus should all be sued to the max!!
And the driver should be put in prison and if and when he gets out, he should be deported! But…….he should never get out of prison.!
