Truck Driver Sentenced for School Bus Crash: A Nightmare for All InvolvedA truck driver, Brett Michael Russell, was sentenced to nearly thirteen years in prison for a crash that seriously injured ten students on a school bus. Russell, aware of his faulty brakes, collided with the bus, causing it to roll multiple times. The incident left ten students with severe injuries, including spinal fractures and traumatic brain injuries. Russell pleaded guilty to twelve offenses and was sentenced to twelve years and nine months in jail, with eligibility for parole after eight years.
