Authorities in Eau Claire are considering misdemeanor charges against the driver involved in the recent school bus accident en route to Minneapolis.
Christopher Leubner, the driver, faces potential prosecution as the Wisconsin State Patrol referred the case to the St. Croix County District Attorney’s Office.
Investigations suggest a misdemeanor charge for operating a school bus without the required endorsement.
The collision occurred on I-94 when the bus collided with an oil tanker. Several students from DeLong Middle School sustained minor injuries and were taken to the hospital for evaluation.
Video evidence indicates a third driver’s actions contributed to the crash.
