Bus driver sentenced for tragic accident in Slovakia

A court has sent a Czech bus driver to four and a half years in prison for causing an accident that killed four people and injured 20. He has also been banned from driving for a period of seven years. The Student Agency bus crashed in Slovakia en route to Prague in October of 2008, when the twenty-five-year old driver lost control of the vehicle which flew off the road and flipped on its side. The driver, who tested negative for alcohol, is considering appealing the verdict.
