The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating a deadly school bus crash in Chattanooga after authorities said the driver was going “well above” the posted speed limit of 30 mph.
The crash killed five elementary school children on Monday, and the bus driver was arrested and charged with five counts of vehicular homicide, reckless endangerment and reckless driving, WBIR reports.
Johnthony Walker, 24, of Chattanooga only had his commercial license for about seven months, according to the NTSB.
Twelve students remained in the hospital a day after the crash.
Police said the driver was speeding on a narrow, winding road.
The NTSB is expected to be in Chattanooga for 7 to 10 days.
