Bus Crash Leads to DWI Charges

Hearing the words “school bus” and “accident” in the same sentence is always a frightening experience. Thankfully, the parents of five children ages five through eight can be happy that their kids were not injured in a school bus accident that happen last Wednesday in Long Island, New York. Frederick Flowers, the bus driver, crashed the mini school bus into the home of Christina Percell. Though none of the children were injured, Flowers had to be airlifted to a hospital. He was then arrested and charged with several counts of driving while intoxicated, endangerment of the welfare of a child, and reckless endangerment. No one, except for two dogs, was in the home at the time of the crash. The dogs were okay.
