NJ School Bus Driver Goes Through Barricade, Dangling Wire: Video

A South Jersey bus driver was captured on video Friday while he was driving through a barricade with a dangling wire (see video below).

The video shows him moving a cone that perhaps blocked his way on a Pennsauken street. He then used the cone to possibly try to move the wire away from the bus.

He then appears to get frustrated, tossing the cone aside after failing to move the wire. He then grabbed the police tape, broke it with his bare hands and then tossed another cone out of his way before re-entering the bus.

"I was in shock. In shock," Renee Boyd of Pennsauken, who shot the video from her bedroom window, told ABC6.

Efforts to find out why the bus driver did what he did were not immediately successful The bus, which was not a Pennsauken School District bus., belongs to Holcomb Bus Service in Logan Township.

A company official told ABC6 the bus is leased out and the driver is not their employee.

Dangling and live wires were an issue for drivers throughout New Jersey this past week as they dealt with back-to-back destructive nor'easters. One man died when he drove his car over the power line in Franklin Lakes Thursday. The vehicle then caught fire.
