Florida bus driver was ‘not gonna stop for no train’ – even at the cost of innocent children

A school bus driver in Florida has been arrested after putting the lives of the children riding the bus in serious danger. 67-year-old Yvonne Hampton drove across train tracks last Thursday and allegedly said she was “not gonna stop for no train.” 

Footage online shows the moments after the bus had pulled onto the tracks only to be trapped half on the rails due to traffic on the other side. With nowhere to pull forward the vehicle was a sitting duck on the tracks. Meanwhile, the horn of the fast approaching train can be heard blaring in the background, a pressing reminder of the urgency of the situation.
