Bus runs over pregnant woman

I was reading on the Internet NY Daily News website that a New York school bus accidentally ran over a pregnant woman today.  A van lost its brakes and ran into a pregnant woman who was crossing the street and pushed her into the path of a school bus, which pinned her to the road.  About thirty people worked together to lift the bus off of the woman, and she was rushed to a nearby hospital.  Her baby was delivered by C-section and survived, but the woman died shortly after the surgery.

The man who was driving the van has been charged with driving without a license and criminal negligent homicide.  Apparently his van was in such poor condition it should not have even been on the road; and the man had a lot of offenses on his license and his license had been suspended.

That really is a shame that this happened.  I think that the man who was driving the van should do a LOT of jail time!
