#Bus driver drags girl trial#
In another frame, a student at the front of the bus can be seen standing up when protocol explains that all students on the bus should be seated when the bus is in motion.Īttorneys at trial argued that the now 13-year-old child is still battling with scars after the incident. In the video, Sanders can be seen failing to stop for a stop sign. In her lawsuit, Ehamn alleges that her daughter’s bus driver, Sanders, had a history of violating safety protocol. “She was laying there in a neck brace, she was bandaged up, she was really shaken up.” “I got out of the car and they took me straight back to Allie, in a dark room,” Ehman shared with the court. “I said, ‘Is she going to be OK?’ She said, ‘I don’t know.’”Įhman adds that she rushed to the hospital after she stopped her route at a bus compound where a friend gave her a ride to the hospital. Ehman relays, “I asked her, ‘Is Allie alive?’ And she said, ‘Yes,’” Ehman said. “I had several missed messages and calls and the preview message said, ‘They’re dragging your baby down the street,’” Ehman explained.Įhman then goes on to explain that she called the bus compound. Ehman says that after the radio cut off, she checked her phone.
Ehman, who also worked for the school system as a bus driver, explained that she had heard a call over her bus radio about an incident involving her daughter’s bus. The mother of the then six-year-old child testified during the trial on Monday. Following Ehman’s testimony of the traumatizing event and the release of the heartbreaking video, both the school system, Sanders, and Ehman have agreed to a settlement. Ehman filed the lawsuit against Kentucky’s Jefferson County Public School System and the school bus driver, Melinda Sanders. The trial continued this week after a lawsuit was filed by the child’s mother, Amy Ehman. Although the incident took place in 2015, the footage has recently surfaced and has since gone viral on social media after the video was released upon the expectation that it be used in the civil trial unfolding this week.
