The driver of a charter bus has been charged with reckless driving after a crash on Interstate 85 in Dinwiddie County that killed three people Friday.
Malverse L. Vanloan, 56, of Greensboro, N.C., faces a court appearance on Jan. 26 in Dinwiddie County General District Court. The charges stem from a chain-reaction collision involving the Coach America bus she was driving, a pickup truck and a logging truck. The bus was carrying 49 students and a chaperone from North Carolina A&T State University in Greensboro.
The driver and two passengers in the pickup truck were killed. A fourth passenger was taken to VCU Medical Center with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
The logging truck was the northernmost vehicle in the wreck, followed by the pickup and the charter bus. The pickup was found sandwiched between the bus and the logging truck. The crash closed a section of northbound I-85 for nearly six hours.
Virginia State Police are still investigating the crash and have not released the names of the victims.
