A Florida school bus driver has been arrested on 29 felony counts of child neglect after a train clipped her bus in Bushnell last week.
What’s being reported:
→ 67-year-old Yvonne Hampton was transporting 29 children and two adults when she allegedly drove through a railroad crossing as the warning arms were descending.
→ Evidence: Investigators reviewed onboard audio where a voice believed to be Hampton’s is heard saying, “Not gonna stop for no train,” just seconds before the impact.
→ The train clipped the rear 6 inches of the bus. Incredibly, no injuries were reported among the students or staff.
Context: Hampton, a veteran driver of over 10 years, was fired on the day of the incident. Sumter County Superintendent Logan Brown noted that “6 inches is the difference” between a near-miss and a mass casualty event. Hampton appeared before a judge on April 7, facing charges of culpable negligence, reckless driving, and child neglect. The district has since rerouted all buses to avoid that specific crossing.
Status: Legal proceedings ongoing. Hampton was released on a $30,000 bond Tuesday evening.
A Florida school bus driver, Yvonne Hampton, 67, was arrested and fired after her bus was clipped by a moving train in Bushnell on Thursday. The Sumter County School District terminated Hampton following the incident, which officials described as a "near catastrophic disaster" that came within six inches of a major tragedy.
The incident occurred at the intersection of East Central Avenue and North Market Street. Despite active warning signals and lowering crossing arms, Hampton allegedly drove the bus into the path of an oncoming train, which clipped the rear corner of the vehicle. There were 29 students from South Sumter Middle School and South Sumter High School, along with one adult aide, on the bus at the time. Remarkably, no physical injuries were reported, though students were described as terrified and traumatized by the impact.
