The Disney bus driver involved in last week's bus crash has been cited for careless driving. On March 23rd, a Disney bus carrying seven passengers crashed into the back of a parked Mears Transportation bus in front of Epcot.

The driver, Jean Valentin, was sent to the hospital, along with the seven passengers. According to WESH News, Valentin was pinned under the steering wheel and had to be removed by rescue workers.
