A Colorado school bus driver said he was covering an unfamiliar route when he dropped off 40 children at the wrong stop, but now recognizes he 'could have done better.'
A Colorado school bus driver said he was covering an unfamiliar route when he dropped off 40 children at the wrong stop in Castle Rock on Monday afternoon but recognizes he 'could have done better.'Several parents have accused the driver of kicking the children off of the bus. However, Irving Johnson , the man behind the wheel, said that's not true. “It's been said in the media that some of the kids said I told them to get out of the bus, and that's not correct.
'I saw the parents on the side of the road. I knew I was on the wrong side of the road, but because they were all there, I felt it was okay to stop there.”Johnson said once at the third location, which was not the correct bus stop, all 40 children lined up to exit the bus. He was alarmed but claimed he was working to log which children departed the bus electronically, which he is required to do.
