Parents File Lawsuit Over Fatal Burlington County Bus Accident
The parents of an 11-year-old triplet killed in a school bus crash have filed a lawsuit against the bus company and the owners of a dump truck that crashed into the bus. The drivers of the bus and the dump truck are also named in the lawsuit. Isabelle Tezsla was killed in the accident, and her sisters Sophie and Natalie were critically injured. The surviving sisters have since been released from the hospital. The suit alleges that the driver of the dump truck was driving an overloaded vehicle at an excessive rate of speed and was therefore unable to avoid crashing into a school bus full of children. It also alleges that the driver of the school bus also failed to properly stop at a stop sign and check for oncoming traffic before attempting to cross an intersection.
