Yvonne Hampton, a 67-year-old school bus driver in Sumter County, Florida, was charged with reckless driving and 29 felony counts after ignoring warning lights and driving through a rail crossing as a train was coming. The shocking incident took place on Apr. 2, U.S. media reported. According to a student who was in the bus at the time, Hampton told her passengers, “I am not going to stop for a train”, before she drove across. The train clipped the rear of the bus but fortunately, no injuries were reported. Hampton, who had been a bus driver for the Sumter County School District for over 10 years, has since been dismissed. #mothershipnews #mothershipabroad
