Lawsuit Claims Driver in Kentucky Tour Bus Crash ‘Crazed,’ Speeding

A lawsuit filed over the wreck of a tour bus in south-central Kentucky this month contends the driver was operating the bus in a “crazed” manner, had been consuming high-energy drinks and was driving too fast on the winding country road. About two dozen people were injured in the June 6 crash. The suit was filed in Hart County Circuit Court on behalf of students Maci Thomas, Christian Reynolds and Clisty Humphrey by family members against driver Timothy P. Saum of Evansville, Ind., and the bus company, Southwestern Illinois Bus Co. LLC, doing business as New Image Travel, and WorldStrides International LLC.
