The driver, identified as Dr. Howard Gene Yee, a 51-year-old dentist in Roanoke Rapids, failed to stop for the stopped school bus, which highway patrol said was displaying all of its activated warning devices.

A North Carolina teenager who was hit by Tesla while getting off a school bus is in good condition.
First Sgt. Christopher Knox of the State Highway Patrol said the initial assessment indicated it was a case of distracted driving. Investigators are looking into whether the Tesla was in autopilot mode at the time of the crash, he said.
Yee was placed in the Halifax County Jail under a $25,000 secured bond and charged with reckless driving and "passing stop school bus striking a person," according to the North Carolina Department of Public Safety.
Yee's dental office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
