SUMTER COUNTY, Fla. —
The driver of the school bus that was clipped by a train in Sumter County April 2 is now facing 29 felony counts of child neglect as of Monday, according to the Sumter County Sheriff's Office.

SCSO responded to the scene at E Central Avenue and N Market Street in Bushnell last week.

While investigating, deputies were able to obtain the video from inside the bus at the time of the incident.

According to the arrest report, Yvonne Hampton, the driver of the bus, proceeded over a railroad crossing after the warning lights had already activated and the crossing arms had begun to lower, according to the arrest report.

The report said deputies reviewed audio and video from inside the bus, and that a voice believed to be Hampton's can be heard saying, "not gonna stop for no train."

Detectives said when they interviewed Hampton, she said she was already moving over the tracks when the train warning system turned on. But an arrest report says video from the bus shows otherwise.

On Tuesday, Hampton went before a judge on charges including culpable negligence, reckless driving, and 29 counts of neglect of a child without great bodily harm. In total, her bond was set at $30,000.

She bonded out of the Sumter County jail on Tuesday around 5:30 p.m.

Yvonne? Lemme guess. A usual suspect? How many times does a D.I.E. hire have to kill innocent children before something is done?
The thing that's really fucked is the fact that it's soooo easy to NOT jeopardize children with such a low skills required job.

Disregarded signal lights? All school buses here say they must stop at all train crossings. This is regardless of lights or even if a train is visible or not.
