Driver Charged After Illegally Passing School Bus
Summerside Police have charged a 24 year old man with passing a stopped school bus displaying flashing red lights.
The incident occurred Tuesday morning at approximately 8:20 am just outside a daycare on Pope Road.
The bus driver, and another nearby witness, were able to provide information allowing police to identify the vehicle and driver involved.
The driver was issued a summary offence ticket which carries a minimum fine of $1000.00 and a further penalty of 8 demerit points upon conviction.
Summerside Police received two other similar complaints this week of vehicles not stopping for buses. Those incidents remain under investigation and further charges are expected.
