No charges have been filed against the bus driver, which has raised questions about whether she will be charged. The Las Vegas Metropolitan police released the following statement.
“When a fatal accident occurs, a standardized State of Nevada document is produced indicating a possible at-fault vehicle based on preliminary collision information known at that time. However, oftentimes information is learned in the days and weeks after the collision occurs through witness statements, surveillance video, or other investigative steps that would lead to an at-fault driver being cited or arrested for the collision. In the case of the fatal accident involving a school bus and a juvenile on a bicycle that occurred on October 6, 2025, no citation or arrest has been made at this time as the investigation is still ongoing.”…
