Hudy Muldrow Sr. has been charged with two counts of reckless vehicular homicide/death by auto, according to a news release from the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office.
As SBF previously reported, the May 17 crash occurred when one of three school buses was traveling on the highway, headed to Waterloo Village for a field trip. The collision between the bus and a dump truck ripped the undercarriage of the bus away from the body. A student and a teacher were killed, and the other 43 people aboard the bus were hospitalized. State officials said that between 1975 and 2017, Muldrow’s license was suspended 14 times, he was issued 16 driving violations for speeding, and was also cited for an improper lane change in 2010.

| about 2 years agoI'm wondering what New Jersey's MVR's show. In MN we can only go back 5 years. The video linked here stated that his last speeding summons was in 2001 and in this article it states that he was cited for improper lane change in 2010. Unless he volunteered that information, I don't know that we'd be able to find out all this stuff here.
