Sioux Falls, South Dakota
A South Dakota school bus driver involved in a fatal crash with a motorcycle has been cited for careless driving.
The Argus Leader reports that 59-year-old Nancy Horner was driving an unoccupied bus from Harrisburg schools when she turned left in front motorcyclist Thomas Bierne. He died as a result of the crash and his wife remains hospitalized.
Horner was transported to the hospital with minor injuries. She's been an employee of the Harrisburg School District since 1990. She's on paid leave.
The newspaper reports the citation is meant for negligent, rather than willfully dangerous driving. It's a class two misdemeanor that carries a maximum penalty of 30 days in jail or a $500 fine.
Horner could not be reached. She's scheduled to appear in court for Sept. 30.
