RadioOnFire.com - The Baltimore City School System announced Monday that it has terminated its school bus contract with AA Affordable Transportation, the 11 News I-Team has learned.
One of the company's buses driven by Glenn Chappell collided with an MTA bus on Nov 1, killing five people on the MTA bus, the MTA bus driver and Chappell. The crash left 11 others injured.
The NTSB and Baltimore police are jointly investigating. The NTSB told 11 News on Monday that they expect their preliminary findings to be released within the next couple weeks.
Whether Chappell had a up-to-date medical exam certificate on file is in question. The Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration has said Chappell's medical exam certificate expired on Aug. 31 and he was not authorized to operate a commercial motor vehicle. An attorney representing AA Affordable Transportation disputed that information, saying that Chappell’s medical certificate was valid as of June and on file at AA Affordable Transportation.
The school system has redistributed the routes AA Affordable Transportation covered.
This is a developing story.
