Fatal Bus Collision Investigation Finds Driver Error
The investigation into a double-fatal school bus-train crash in January near Larimore points to driver error.
The crash at a crossing killed 17-year-old Larimore student Cassidy Sandstrom and 62-year-old bus driver Max Danner, and injured 12 other students.
An autopsy found no evidence that Danner suffered a medical emergency.
The report says there was “significant braking” of the bus before it came to rest on the tracks.
The bus was struck between 1 and 2 seconds later.
The report says the bus had no mechanical problems.
