| New York Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly speaks with emergency personnel investigating the scene of a bus crash on Interstate-95 in the Bronx borough of New York Saturday, March 12, 2011. At least thirteen people died when the bus, returning to New York from a casino in Connecticut, flipped onto its side and was sliced in half by the support pole for a large sign. |
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) -- Two state officials familiar with the investigation of a New York City bus crash that killed 15 people tell The Associated Press that records show the driver had his license suspended from two traffic stops in 1995 under an alias.
The officials say the driver, Ophadell Williams, told police his name was Erik Williams. He was charged with speeding and twice charged with driving without a license because he didn't have it on him when stopped.
The officials say Williams' license was suspended under the alias because he never responded to the charges. The two stops came within eight days of each other in 1995.
The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the investigation's sensitivity and because no public announcements are yet being made on its findings.
