Thirty-two people were sent to area hospitals after the bus they were riding in crashed off Route 4 in East Greenwich this week. According to police, the majority of the passengers were elementary school-aged children returning from a field trip in Newport. The bus’ driver was seriously injured in the crash after he was ejected from the vehicle.
State Police have issued a ticket to the Cranston teenager who they said caused the accident when he veered into the left-front side of the bus. The 17-year-old was issued a summons for failing to stay in the lane of travel.
The fine for the moving violation? $85.
Do you think this is a fair punishment or should the teen driver face harsher charges?

Agreed.....Some things shouldn't go to a poll, and this is one of them.

The $85.00 ticket was for the moving violation, hate to see what the Insurance bill is when all these claims are said and done. Dont think he will be having insurance. I know if it was my kid, I pull his license
