ASPEN, Colo. (AP) — A jury has decided that the bus driver is most at fault in a 2013 crash that left three people with incapacitating injuries.
The Aspen Times reports (http://bit.ly/1mePJ1Y) that a Roaring Fork Transportation Authority bus slammed into a concrete barrier and overturned, ejecting six of 11 passengers. It had been swerving to avoid a slow-moving tractor on a route from Aspen to Glenwood Springs.
The jury decided Friday that the bus driver, 57-year-old Jaime Nunez, was 50 percent at fault. They found 37-year-old tractor driver Travis Wingfield 45 percent at fault and tractor owner Ted Potter 5 percent responsible.
Nunez says he accepts the verdict and that “everything is in God’s hands.”
Damages will be determined at a future trial, which has not yet been scheduled.
