COLUMBIA, SC : After crash, former Lexington 1 bus driver faces fine and license suspension on Friday, 30th June 2023

New records show the bus driver in a crash that left 17 students injured has faced financial and professional consequences.

Department of Education and the S.C. Highway Patrol released records on Friday confirming Ben Earl Alverson Jr. was behind the wheel of a Lexington School District 1 bus that pulled in front of a truck in May.

A trooper wrote Alverson a ticket for failing to yield the right of way at a stop sign. Lexington County Court records show Alverson forfeited the $232.50 fine, meaning he paid the money and the court views the case as a conviction.
