She’s trying to appeal and get out of prison earlier. I’d say after that, the least she could do is 4 years.
Something similar happened close to my home town. Babysitter crashed a van and killed 4 siblings as well as herself. Just awful.
Not even flashing lights caused her to slow down. She did not recognize that big yellow bus was a
school bus??
This family deserved better, now their injured son will feel likely spend years in therapy working through his survivors guilt, meanwhile Alyssa feels NOTHING but relief that she had virtually no punishment for killing 3 SIBLINGS!
She’s a bitch, she didn’t want to be late so she passed that bus and killed those children
It took death of 3 kids to realize the bus pickup spot can be dangerous? Who is the knucklehead that made that bus route?
This will continue until police enforce bad driving and courts mete out sentences that reflect the choices motorists make that lead to road violence. They're 2 tonnes of motorised metal, and they get special privileges in law. Imagine a company that killed children regularly never being closed down.
ok so if she saw flshing ,lights wat makees her think it ok to cont. to frive? & what was her speed tf?!!!
“She saw the flashing lights, but didn’t know it was a school bus.” Uhhh, ANYTIME you see flashing lights, you should be slowing down.
In the U.K. we call all indicators flashing at the same 'hazard warning lights', you automatically slow down because of the hazard. To have those and the big red stop sign with its own flashing lights and a lit sign saying "School Bus" and not stopping is inconceivable. I know there were three children but I was hit by a minivan in 1971 at 40mph when cars weren’t as well structured. I didn’t do anything remotely like that damage in fact I hardly did any at all and I was very badly injured. That makes me think she was going well over 45mph.
BRUH SHE GOT 4 YEARS.
How the hell she didn’t realize it was a school bus. She can’t that big ass yellow bus
Why wasn't an adult or parent out there with them?
Why don't PEOPLE listen to the rules my dad always listens to the rules
Saw the lights but didn’t stop?
What did she honestly think the lights were there for?? Construction workers??
How do you not notice a big yellow bus with flashing lights? If you clime you didn’t realize it’s a school bus then you are not being a good driver. You are not paying attention to your surroundings.
HOW IN THE HELL YOU CANT SEE THE GIANT YELLOW BUS!!
As a Bus driver im Shocked that that Bus Stop was in the middle of the road. The Woman is Guilty as Hell but man responsible for making the route would be feeling guilty as well.
RIP little angels!
Omg what a tragedy
That evil witch only got 4 years
I live on a back road and when my son gets on or off the bus I walk and stand in the middle of the road!
