School bus driver is fired after video shows her running stop sign

SPRINGDALE, Ohio — A school bus driver here was fired last week after a video taken by a parent showed her failing to stop at a stop sign, WCPO reports.

The driver, who worked for First Student, had elementary students aboard the bus when she blew through the stop sign, according to the news source.

A concerned parent recorded the incident on her phone and posted the video on Facebook.
